well, it was, to them. But I give them alot of credit for fulfilling both promises/ obligations. I guess they learned the hard way that you don't give a 5 yr. old a choice like that, lol.

I don't think I've ever done anything interesting for my birthday. I stopped having parties when I was 11 and after that it was mostly cake with my family.

My dad turned 18 the day JFK was shot.

My brother turned 18 the day after 9/11.

Your brother shares a birthday with my wife.

9/11 - we get bombed
9/12 - happy (?) birthday
9/13 - our cat gets run over by a truck and dies

Worst birthday ever.

i must be confused. i thought they told you you could pick anywhere but they were actually just going to take you to tennesse anyway. if the tennessee trip was in addition to wherever you chose then kudos to them.

This thread sucks so far...

My wife arranged a surprise 40th bday party for me a month early and totally pwned me. Had about 100 people who managed to keep it secret, several of which came from some distance.

My 18th I had food poisoning.

My 4th I had a 4 ft long cake with the 4 characters from Mario 2 on it.

I also forgot to add, although it isn't in the universe, my grandmother died 3 days after my 18th birthday.

On my 11th or 12th birthday, I had dinner and a slumber party planned with my three good friends. We (me, my friends, and my parents) came home from dinner to find my 70ish y.o. grandma sitting on the couch in FOOTIE pajamas. She acted a little looney and said "I'm here for your party!"

I didn't really give it much thought, until the doorbell started ringing and about 10-12 of my aunts/uncles/cousins all file in wearing their pj's. One of my male cousins, who was in his 20's at the time, had oreos mashed up and somehow stuck to his face, and he was acting like he was 5.

I remember being very gracious to everyone, and we all enjoyed cake and ice cream and some laughs, but I was MORTIFIED (especially at the self conscious stage of my life that I was in). And I'll never forget the looks on my friends faces. Crazy stuff.
