Birthday etiquette

[girlsmiley]

My girlfriend and I are laying in bed and I told her that I am hungry and that I think it would be a good idea if she made me some breakfast.

She said “Oh really?”

I smiled and said yes.

She propped herself up on her elbow and proceeded to tell me that I should be the one to cook her breakfast because it’s her birthday.

What?

It’s not her birthday. Her birthday was on Wednesday. It’s now Sunday.

I told her that and she said “My birthday goes for a week so you’re supposed to make my breakfast until next Wednesday.”

Is this actually a thing? I said to her “No, because then it would be called a birthweek not a birthday.”

I thought that was smart but then she said that when she was born people came to visit for about a month for her birthday. What does that even mean?

First, you should have said it’s my birthday and you should eat me for breakfast. Second, she seems just a tad self involved. Third, how ya doin’ Sweetcheeks?

 

[Stain_mAnn]

You make that bitch make you breakfast!

Tell her she better if she wants another birthday week.

She is soo self involved! Not like me at all!

I’m great. So great.

 

[Libsam]

Give her the rape.

 

[Sean]

Strangle her and take the ring.

That’s what I’m saying. Apparently, cooking breakfast is my job til next Wednesday

 

[girlsmiley]

Give her the rape.

It’s not rape if it’s consensual

Strangle her and take the ring.

The ring?

 

[girlsmiley]

Strangle her and take the ring.

Oh. We’d both die in the fires fighting over it.

I've never understood the need to celebrate a birthday for an entire month. But it seems to be the popular thing to do these days. I can barely survive my one day.

 

[jaF0]

This concept was in one of the bitchy girls TV shows awhile back, but I can't remember which one.

What it means is that she hoped she could con you into making her breakfast. At the same time, when she was born it's quite possible friends and family members came by to see the new family member, and continued to do so for a month. That means nothing for subsequent birthday anniversaries.

Personally, I don't celebrate birthdays at all. I grudgingly acknowledge them.

Many church congregations announce or publish the birthdays of those in their flock weekly.

P.T. Barnum?

"There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase closely associated with P. T. Barnum, an American showman of the mid-19th century, although there is no evidence that he actually said it. Early examples of its use are found among gamblers and confidence men.

Maybe "breakfast" was code for, you know, BREAKFAST.

Inconceivable!

College girls and girls right out of college seem to have made that a thing, I call bullshit. Your assessment was one the money. Its a day. I get the "lets celebrate on the weekend" if the birthday is mid week or something.

Yeah, I don't like making a big deal out of my birthday, either.

She's self absorbed and is working you. If you do a week celebration now, think how much more you'll have to do later.

Maybe a week was ok when she WAS a baby, but she's NOT a baby anymore.

If she wants a week, then you get a week, too.

Call her on her BS.

Whoa whoa whoa!

I’m sorry, but there’s been some sort of confusion here.

The girlfriend and I were joking around in bed. We weren’t being serious we were being silly and having a laugh.

You guys don’t do silly arguments with your partners?

And for the record guys, my girlfriend and I are the same age. We were born in the 80s. We’re definitely NOT college girls, even though we act like we are sometimes. Like, a lot.

Code. Like a snack.
