Birthdays

Birthdays were something that I looked forward to when I was young but as i grow old, i realize the more they suck err'y year.


At age 1, your 1st birthday is the most important to you because its the 1st party you have. A bunch of people are so thrill to celebrate it with you and you're not even old enough to even bother to know any of them. You get gifts, you take pictures and get to put you own hand in the cake that err'y1 else has to eat. Its a birthday without cares that makes it your most special one.

Your 2nd Birthday is almost as fun as the 1st one, of course your family probably stepped it up for the party this year. More toys and twice the amount of people from last year. At this point, you're familiar with family and close friends but anybody else that you don't know gets the mean look. Even when they try to talk to you, you ignore them and they will think its the most cutest thing in the world.

Your 3rd and 4th Birthdays are the same as the 2nd. By the time you hit 5 years old, this is when you have the voice to start demanding the theme of your party. Instead of 99 cent store decorations, you want the most typical thing that you seen on Television to be your theme such as Pokemon, Barbie or Batman, etc. You have your friends that you play with in the party like theres nuthin else around. Knowing that its YOUR birthday and not there's, you start to grow this ego that you're wayyyy better than them because it's your party and whatever you say, goes. When the time comes for you to blow the candles out, you make sure no one helps you or else they will ruin err'ything. By this Birthday, you are assisted to cutting the 1st slice of cake.

6th, 7th, 8th, are all the same. Then we come to the 9th Birthday party, where for most like myself, this cood be the last party you will ever have in your life as a child. You hope for it to be the bestest party since your past birthdays but honestly, the people who been throwing and putting together your parties are feeling that you dont need anymore parties so didnt take the time to even go hard like before. instead of gettin the favorite toys you wanted, you get the toys you dont. Also, you realize that majority of your gifts are clothes more than toys. The game system you thought you was gettin this year ends up not being any of the boxes you've opened.

10th Birthday arrives and now you're officially double digits. How do you celebrate your birthday this year??? your people's take you out to a restaurant... (booo!) as if you coduldnt go to a restaurant on any other day. Your 11th Birthday ends up being just a sleepover in your house with your friends where ya'll dont even go anywhere but stay in the house all day and play video games...

Your 12th birthday makes you a preteen but that age never counted for anything in the books. No birthday party, no dinner, you're just stuck doin homework because your birthday most likely ended up falling on a weekday anyway. Now you're 13; a full teenager. Now you can probably go to the movie theatres by yourself and watch PG-13 movies with your friends. Your 14th and 15th birthdays suck! For females your 16th birthday is the most special day because its your rights of passage into being a woman. For dudes its just like the last year. at 17 years old your so amped to turn 18 just so you can be considered an adult.

Once 18 comes, its not all cracked up as you thought it was. WHOOPIE! now you can waste money on lotto tickets, cancer your lungs with cigarettes and vote! you turn 19 and now your feeling even wacker, 1 cuz your not a newly 18 anymore and 2 cuz your like 2 years away from being 21. you turn 20 and thats still wack cuz your 1 year away from being 21 but not quite legal to drink (as if it mattered to you anyway, you probably were drinkin already).

The big age of 21 hits and you want to do it big. You go to the clubs with your ID ready cuz you know you're legal now! At this point in life you reached the mountain top and on your way down the other side. All the birthdays beyond this point are regular days. People 4get that its your birthday. Even you, yourself forget that it's coming up! the only ages you might do sumthin spectacular are all the multiples of 10 (30, 40, 50, etc). Age 40 makes you over the hill and puts you in reality check that you're gettin old.
