Happy B'day!


But but but but.....

If you were born on Mother's Day [and not this one] then also the
Mother's Day that you were born, namely in the US the 2nd Sunday in May,
and that Sunday you were born /were/ also May 14 [we usually call our
birthday the day/date of our birth] like this one.....

<snip>
The second Sunday of May will fall on the following dates in the next
few years:

2007: May 13
2008: May 11
2009: May 10
2010: May 9
2011: May 8
2012: May 13
</snip>

.... then we would somehow have to figure out what years May 14 fell on
the 2nd Sunday in May like this year's does.

But, if instead of celebrating your birth 'date' on the actual date, you
/instead/ celebrate it on Mother's Day to make it convenient for your
friend's to salute you twice at one time, then we don't have to figure
out when May 14 was the 2nd Sunday in May.  It can only happen on the
years which May 1 is a Monday, which presumably would approximate every
7th one.

I'm not actually trying to figure out how /old/ you are, but whether or
not you normally celebrate your birthday on your actual birth date or if
you celebrate your birthday on Mother's Day for convenience, and.....

and....

if you have chosen to celebrate your birthday on Mother's Day for
convenience or sentimentality or whatever, does that mean that you have
been doing that since you were a little girl and you had been a Mother's
Day present for your mom, or does that mean that you have only been
doing it that way since you have been both a daughter *and* a mother?
