"Hey, Mom? Remember that time I did that joke on Daddy?"

"Which joke was that?"

"Okay, so Mama? So we get to do my birthday at home and at school and at my Saturday party? All of those times?"

"Yep."

"Why do I get to have three birthday times?"

"Celebrating is important. It's good to take any opportunity to do happy things. We should celebrate something everyday."

"Celebrate is not on my opposability chart."

"Responsibility chart."

"Yeah, the pose-ability chart."

"We should put Celebrate on there. That's a great idea."

"So can we put that on there and take off Brush Your Teeth?"

"No."

Happy Birthday Bob.
