Ah, yes. My 13th birthday.

November 4. We never have school on my birthday, usually because of the teachers convention. Except last year. We had school. It was on a Friday.

My teachers spoiled me silly -- or as far as teachers let kids get away with things

We had a cast party in Language Arts because we had put on a play the previous few days. It was all good.
My friends and I had our party at the local indoor swimming pool place. It was great.
The previous September, my mother had hurt her leg. She was out of work for a few weeks, because she couldn't walk. She told me that having a family party was out of the question. Well, on November 13, my parents and I went to the city my grandma lives in. We were going to go out for dinner -- just the four of us. Well, we get to the resturaunt, and there was the rest of my family

! Suprise.
