Every day, every birthday candle I blow out, every penny I throw over my shoulder in a wishing well, every time my daughter says, ’Let’s make a wish on a star ’ there’s one thing I wish for: wisdom.

With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.

In childhood, we yearn to be grown-ups. In old age, we yearn to be kids. It just seems that all would be wonderful if we didn't have to celebrate our birthdays in chronological order.

I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing ’Happy Birthday.’

For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.
