Birthday MONTH (& Other Oxymorons)
If you’re an about-to-be 12-year-old boy (OK, my younger son), how do you squeeze the most out of your birthday?
After all, by definition a day is only 24 hours — and you’re not even awake for one-third of it.
Slippery Slope
The answer: morph “day” into “weekend.”
As in, “I get to pick the dessert on my birthday weekend,” and, “it’s my birthday week — I should get to watch what I want.”
And so on.
Coming soon, I’m sure: “birthday month.”
