The Perfect Birthday Strategy
"Dad, I've discovered the perfect birthday strategy," Eli 23.0 said last night."Tell me," I said, "because you know what my birthdays are like." You do, too, if you've been reading for a while.
"Here's what you do. You ask people to do all your favorite things, but you don't tell them it's your birthday. So you get to do everything you like, but no one makes you the center of attention. It's just a great day."
The funny thing is that Eli's the center of attention all the time, but he never seeks it. It's the opposite, really. He's never been a self-promoter.
Now I have a perfect birthday strategy for myself, too.
