Birthday Cake
A Story Every Day in 2023 July 13th 195/366
"I never bought you a fucking cake."
"Why not?"
"Why not? Who ever buys me a cake? Eh?"
"You don't like cake."
"Don't tell me what I like!"
"Okay. I'm sorry."
"You're too old for cake anyway. 50 years old! You're not a fucking toddler!"
"I just thought..."
"What?"
"Never mind."
"No, go on. You've started now. You've obviously got something to say, so say it."
"I'm 50."
"So?"
"Cake would have been nice. To celebrate."
"Who wants to celebrate being 50? Who wants to celebrate getting old?"
"I do."
"Fuck me. Well, you'll have to do it without cake."
