Heather Martin Reporting News

even if I'm the only one that knows when it is. My nephew turned 1 today, October 11, 2007. Since it's his first birthday, yesterday I called my mom to confirm that today was the day and not yesterday or tomorrow or something. She told me Yes, it is tomorrow (meaning today the 11th) so yesterday I shipped his present 2 day shipping to get there tomorrow, Friday, one day late, no big deal. Then my mom calls me at 7 this morning to say that it was yesterday (the 10th) because she had called my brother and they said it was yesterday. So then I feel kinda bad and stupid that I don't even know when my nephew's birthday is but don't know why I had it written down as the 11th. So I called my dad this morning and he said it was yesterday too.

So tonight I call my brother to find out about JJ's first birthday and mention that it's weird that I thought it was today and I didn't want to be insulting and ask them to check the birth certificate, though I really thought they should, just to make sure, but as we were on the phone my sister-in-law gave the birth certificate to my brother and he reads out that his birthday is the 11th but at this point I think he's just kidding and saying that to be funny but after a couple minutes he says that it's true, today is his birthday and they were just stupid and for some reason thought it was yesterday. So yesterday they had his party and even my sister-in-law's family came over and no one questioned the birthday, except me of course. Holy shit, if it wasn't for me, my family would be celebrating poor JJ's birthday on the wrong day.

Guess it could be worse, they could have forgotten it all together. At least they were a day early!

Sorry JJ you have stupid parents. At least your Auntie Heather is smart!!! Hope you and Ella take after me :0)
