In retrospect, one of the signs of the coming fail of my marriage was when my husband told a mariachi band in a restaurant that it was my birthday.
(It was my birthday. The fail was thinking I would enjoy the attention of a mariachi band and an entire restaurant.)
No one deserves mariachi, Ginger.

Well at least he didn't do it on a day that was not remotely your birthday, just to embarrass you.
One of the shows I did with Culture Clash required me learning the difference between Bandida, Mariachi, and...and... crap, forget the name of it. Richard described Bandida as "Carne Asada and Cowboys. If it has either on the cover, it's Bandida". Mariachi was, I forget the words he used, but it was far from PC, making comment on the outfits. The other major category (that I can't recall the name of) is the bulk of "everything else". Yes, gross generalizations. And I didn't realize it at first, he's not a fan of any of it either.
My dad did that to my mom on numerous occasions.
Sometimes I'm surprised he's still alive.
I like mariachi bands, though.
Netflix is a teasing-McTeasey-pants! And for that, I am mad at it. It labeled Dresden Files as "Season 1" and by that, I thought there was more. Alas, I have consumed all 12 episodes in a few days. Humbug. For that, I will punish it, and watch more and make it tired.
Sean, feel free to stop by and meet Kaylee tonight if you aren't working!
I was working tonight. And will be again tomorrow. The next several days will be pretty busy, but we'll figure something out.
Kaylee is adorable!
They forgot.
That's awful, Scrappy. I can relate, though. The Girl's parents forget about not only most of the plays she directs, but also (on quite a few years) her birthday. In-laws who don't appreciate the people we love are frustrating.

TCG is very much aware that he ever had a restaurant staff sing to me on my birthday, he would be a dead man. In fact, most people who know me are all too aware of this.
I find it more effective to point out to waitstaff that if anyone sings that there will be no tip, no matter who says I'm kidding.
