Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning.. Â
I went downstairs for breakfast  hoping my wife would be pleasant and say,  'Happy Birthday!',  and possibly have a small present for me. Â
As it turned out, Â she barely said good morning, Â let alone ' Happy Birthday.' Â
I thought.... Â
Well, that's marriage for you, Â but the kids... Â They will remember. Â
My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word.. Â So when I left for the office, Â I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent. Â
As I walked into my office,  my secretary Jane said,  'Good Morning Boss,  and by the way  Happy Birthday ! '  It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered. Â
I worked until one o'clock ,  when Jane knocked on my door  and said, 'You know,  It's such a beautiful day outside,  and it is your Birthday,  what do you say we go out to lunch,  just you and me..'  I said, 'Thanks, Jane,  that's the greatest thing  I've heard all day.  Let's go !' Â
We went to lunch. Â But we didn't go where we normally would go. She chose instead at a quiet bistro with a private table. Â We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. Â
On the way back to the office, Jane said, 'You know, Â It's such a beautiful day... Â We don't need to go straight back to the office, Â Do We ?' Â
I responded, Â 'I guess not. Â What do you have in mind ?' Â She said, Â 'Let's drop by my apartment, Â it's just around the corner.' Â
After arriving at her apartment,  Jane turned to me and said, ' Boss, if you don't mind,  I'm going to step into the bedroom  for just a moment.  I'll be right back.'  'Ok.' I nervously replied. Â
She went into the bedroom and,  after a couple of minutes,  she came out carrying a huge birthday cake ...  Followed  by my wife,  my kids,  and dozens of my friends  and co-workers,  all singing 'Happy Birthday'. Â
And I just sat there.... Â
On the couch... Â
Naked.
It's a fact of Life:
After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......
