“Happy birthday!”
“Thank you. One more till 60! How’d that happen?
“It doesn’t seem real, does it? Weren’t we jus’ 12 and 13 last year?”
“I know huh? Swatting down termites under the street lights.”
“Then ducking from the bats.”
“Those were the best of times.”
Lengthy silence…
“Well, happy birthday. Have a wonderful day.”
“Thanks. You, too.”
