I am 1 of 6 boys in our family. On our 8th birthday [no, no idea why #8] my parents had big Birthday parties for us. Relatives from all over, neighbors, etc. One small problem: My birthday is in early September and way before Global Warming. Yup, blizzard. And a dandy. Nobody could make it. My parents, being the great parents that they were, were trying to comfort me and making a big deal about presents. Me? I'm sitting there staring at this gigantic Birthday Cake. Fork at the ready :-)
