One Happy Birthday song really stands out. This one was from Barb. I walked into work and she broke out into song,,,,,such as it is. In a low, sad, monotone she started singing.
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
People are dying everywhere
Pain and sorrow fill the air
Happy Birthday
When she got the first Happy Birthday out I thought to myself, "Oh geez Barb, keep your day job!" Then I realized this wasn't the Happy Birthday song I thought it was.
Later in the day a couple came in to register and looked at me and said, "Are you Snookie?" When I replied that I was I heard, "Happy Birthday!" I looked at them and thought to myself, "Do I know you?" I must have had a puzzled expression on my face because the lady said, "Look, she can't believe we know its her birthday!" And I couldn't! How did they know? I looked at Barb and she just shrugged her shoulders. It was then we got busy and I didn't give it anymore thought, there just wasn't time. A while later this young fella came in and asked me who Snookie was. When I told him it was me he said, Happy Birthday! I must have had that same puzzled expression because he then mentioned this:
AHA! Now I knew!
Bob and I went out to dinner after work and I spent the rest of the evening on the phone with family and friends. Yep, a good birthday!
