35 years ago, at 3:55AM in Boston Massachusetts, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy!
Then, about 20+ years ago, when he was a teenager, we went to see City Slickers.
There is a scene where Billy Crystal is awoken at 5:16AM by his mother who reminisces about his birth.
She does this every year – and Billy Crystal mouths her exact words as she says them.
“Oh no” said my son, “I can see it now!”
Well – I never did start the reminiscing calls – because for one thing – 3:55AM and I have become strangers in these 35 years. But it keeps him wondering if I will!
But I can schedule this to appear at 3:55AM EDT š
And for most of his birthdays, he calls me and says…”yes, mom, you HAVE aged [whatever age he is] years…because I tend to say how can you be [x age] when I have not aged that many years….
Do you have a birthday custom that has gone on as your kids grew into adulthood?
Please comment below and thank you.


The following alert came from the Oregon Atty. General, but it applies to anyone in any state who is a senior citizen or who knows any senior citizens.
Many of us pet owners know that pets keep us saner, happier and healthier.
