editor's note
I have two definitive birthday memories from my childhood. One lasted through high school, the other was a moment in time.
For every birthday, my mom made me a dessert all the way through high school. I didn't want any old sweet treat. I requested a whole array of treats—something different for every year.
Variations of brownies, rice cereal squares and cheesecake dominated my birthdays, along with the occasional piñata and balloon animals. I once even had puppy chow. Whatever I craved that week before my birthday, I got.
My other birthday memory was in grade school, a time when all the boys in my class were invited to the party because of gender; not because we necessarily liked each other.
We ate brownies, they watched me open presents, and I wore a king crown from Burger King.
We separated half and half and pulled as if our lives were at stake. No winner triumphed after about a minute, but before any of us could call it quits, the hose snapped. About a dozen boys flew in opposite directions just as my dad let out a yelp.
Because boys will be boys, we played games. My dad's wisdom came into play, especially for tug of war: Rope burn, little did my friends and I know, would have destroyed our little hands. My dad's solution: his garden hose.
His hose was now useless,and he wasn't happy. He tamed his temper as my friends scattered and he firmly told all of us to go eat more cake.
Check out Kelly's Out & About on page 14 for some other students' most memorable childhood birthday moments.
I guess along with another year of life, I gained another year of wisdom.
I decided to hold my tongue and not tell my dad I actually had brownies.
