A hornet’s nest buzzing by your feet in the park just begging to be whacked with your baseball bat? And even though each year that passes removes us further from that innocent joy, there is no greater celebration for a kid than The Birthday Party. I propose that, as we age, we should flip what we celebrated as children with what we celebrate as adults. A birthday is a time for excess: too many calories, too much to drink, an inordinate amount of friends. Because we are never too old to celebrate our birthday.
