What do you get the lady chicken who has everything?

Obviously these are going to be a shit storm of plugger sadness and useless information.
I've included a selection.
January 5th here. My parents couldn’t afford two sets of
presents within two weeks, so I never got much of anything for my birthday. I
learned not to celebrate my birthday, which puzzles my wife of 37 years to no end.
…i also get my
license plate changed in december, too
Guess I’m a Plugger
after all.
No kidding! Mine is
Jan. 4, and when I was a kid, my aunt and grandmother would send me a Christmas
card, and a note on it said, “this is for your birthday, too.” I’ve always
threatened to do a “Queen Elizabeth,” and celebrate in June or July, as my
“official” birthday, just like the Queen does. As is, it’s VERY unfair!
My dad’s birthday was
three days after Christmas
Mine is 15 days
before Christmas. My parents always seemed to make it work when I was a kid. My
sister and I pretty much got the same amount of presents for birthdays and
Christmas (hers is in June). I guess my parents were good at planning ahead.
Nowadays I am lucky if anyone REMEMBERS I have a birthday (tho’ my husband
always does)
.
My birthday is close
to election day. Sometimes I get what I want for my birthday, sometimes not.
This year was mostly good, two and six years ago, mostly not so good…
I was born on Dec
26th 1971. My brother was born on Dec 26th, 1968. He’s three years older than
me to the day.
Having a Boxing Day
birthday has one big advantage: I’ve never had to work or go to school on my
birthday, ever. However, it also has
several disadvantages. I’ve never had a birthday party, birthday cake (after
Christmas nobody wants to even think about cake), or even a birthday present I
could trust (did they just hold a Christmas gift back?). Also, not having to
work also means nobody else has to either. That meant waiting an extra day to
get my driver’s license, liquor ID, and many other rites of passage. And finally, sharing
my birthday with my brother just plain sucked. One’s birthday is supposed to be
“their” day, when they can feel special, a least in their own family. I had to
share my “special” birthday with an older sibling, one who was not particularly
pleased with sharing “his” day with me, either…
I call foul. Being a
plugger is a choice lifestyle. Not something forced on you from birth. If that
was the case every single person ever born in late December is a plugger.
Boxing Day off? Is this a Canadian or British plugger? Is that even allowed? I think Pluggers should be American, goddammit!
ReplyDeleteI think there might be a Plugger loophole if you are from some place like Alberta.
ReplyDeletehe's been married for 37 years and his wife couldn't dissuade him to get over his martyr complex? the worst.
ReplyDeleteclaiming election day birthday as a problem? clearly people just don't like him. because he is a plugger.
