A birthday in "bizarro world"

    I'm sitting in the living room reading JWD on my laptop. My elderly parents are in the adjacent dining room having lunch. My mother pulls out the "daily text" and asks: "What day is it?" May dad says: "Saturday". My mom looks in the book and says: "Oh, yes, July 19th", and reads the text.

    A few minutes later, my dad sits starring at his watch. My mom asks: "What does your watch say?". My dad tells her: "It says it's one o'clock on Saturday the 19th of July". He pauses for a moment and says: "In just a couple of months I will be 85". Mom says: "And in February, I'll catch up to you."

    All the while I sit here thinking: "I am your only child, who cares for your every need and it's my birthday. You have thought twice about today's date, you have thought of your own birthdays, but July 19th does not ring a bell to either of you".

    WTF

    Your poor thing, go out and have a blast on yourself. Get a big birthday cake, make a wish and blow out the candles. They have been too conditioned by the "religion". Enjoy your day!
