Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Sophia! Happy birthday, smonster!

But here's the answer: my kids play the old 'jinx' game, you know the one where you both say the same thing at the same time and yell "JINX!" and whoever says it last or forgets to say it is jinxed and can't speak until someone else says "pickle juice!" At least pickle juice is the current safe word. When I was a kid it was Coca Cola.

Ah. When I was a kid, other people had to say the jinxed person's name five (?) times.

Happy birthdays!

We always said "JINX, you owe me a coke."

With us it was JINX, 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 you owe me a coke. I think in theory whoever finished first was owed a coke, but that never really happened.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think ours was "Jinx! Buy me a coke! 1 -2 3 -4-5", and the person who finish first got the coke. But there was also never really any coke.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Happy birthday, Smonster, and Sophia!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Thanks, y'all! I get an Empress for my birthday! Woot. Which, I should put on some clothes and get out the door. One doesn't keep an Empress waiting.

Me, I'm taking the folks to the assisted living place today... please let it go well, please let it go well...

Time to walk the dog and maybe walk off some of my jitters.
