Half Birthday

Today is my half birthday! :D

I don't know why, but I have always had a fascination with half birthdays. This is funny because I didn't care so much about my real birthday, but I would get pretty excited about my half birthday. One year, when I was about 10, I kept bugging my mom and reminding her about it coming up. I even did the countdown- everyday that got closer, I would announce it to my family.

Eventually the day came and my mom gave me a card (she never gives cards, she doesn't believe in them). But the card was ripped in half! It was even still in the envelope- she just ripped the whole thing in two. Inside the card there was some writing- but I couldn't read it all since she wrote it before she ripped it. She said I would get the other half on my full birthday. But I never did. hmmm...

So if you don't get what a half birthday is, it is simply six months after your real birthday. So take your birth month and count six after. And of course, it will fall on the same day of your birth date.

What I always found amusing as a kid was that my sister Ainsley only gets a half birthday on leap years. She was born on August 29th... It was funny to me.
