Did you notice my birthday?

Kadizzle comes from a family of nine kids.  Birthdays were not a big deal. If my parents had to plan for nine birthday parties like the one my granddaughter is having it would have been a full time job.  If Kadizzle was lucky he got something for his birthday.  Kadizzle remembers one birthday where his father put a wrapped pen knife in a big glass gallon jug for Kadizzle to get out for a present.  Once Kadizzle's grandmother took him to the toy store on his birthday.  Most birthdays just were not noticed.

Now we come to Sylvie's birthday.  This may require as much planning as a wedding, and cost almost as much.  Apparently the plan is to rent the Art Garage and have all her friends show up for an art project.  Sylvie may well grow up as an only child.  She is a great little girl, but someday she will be faced with the reality the sun does not rotate around her.   Kadizzle learned very early there were eight other planets in the universe besides him, and he was pretty close to the smallest planet.
