Quote of the Day

From Mattie, who likes to remind us that nobody likes other people's birthdays; they only like their own.

"I want to have an October birthday, with October things.
I want an October flag, with stars on it.
...
And a circle cake, with blue frosting.
Dark blue frosting, like I always like.
And that's all.
Ok, Mama?
 ...
And an airplane on the front.
On top of the circle.
Over it.
Ok, Mama?"
