HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
At 7am this morning I get a call from my uncle in Jamaica:
Uncle: Happy Birthday, Chubby.
Me: Morning, Uncle.
Uncle: How old are you today?
Me: I'm 30 years old now, Uncle.
Uncle: WOOO-EEEE! And you don't have baby yet?
Me: No uncle, not yet.
Uncle: Well, you aren't married yet, so you better just go on make your parents grandparents now before it get too late.
Me: Ok, Uncle.
Uncle: You wait too long, focusing on career and now you're 30 with no husband or kid.
Me: I know, Uncle.
Uncle: Well, I see what I can do for you for a husband. Next time you come home, I have a line up of prospects for you.
Me: Ok, Uncle.
Uncle: Well, enjoy the rest of your day, Chubby and Happy Birthday.
Me: I'll try.
Me: Morning, Uncle.
Uncle: How old are you today?
Me: I'm 30 years old now, Uncle.
Uncle: WOOO-EEEE! And you don't have baby yet?
Me: No uncle, not yet.
Uncle: Well, you aren't married yet, so you better just go on make your parents grandparents now before it get too late.
Me: Ok, Uncle.
Uncle: You wait too long, focusing on career and now you're 30 with no husband or kid.
Me: I know, Uncle.
Uncle: Well, I see what I can do for you for a husband. Next time you come home, I have a line up of prospects for you.
Me: Ok, Uncle.
Uncle: Well, enjoy the rest of your day, Chubby and Happy Birthday.
Me: I'll try.

Happy B-day, Chubbs! You up in the Big League, now, girl !!! This is the time when you'll really start discovering who you really are. You know, the "character" building age...

Well hey, did u tell him that 40 is the new 30, which in reality would only make u 20?
Maybe you should have thrown in that u tossed everyone out of yr stable, and any "prospects" he has might just happen to come in handy.
As one previously 20, 30 and now 38, Im here to say life gets better..and so does everything else as u age. I wouldnt go back to being 20 if someone PAID me. Even though it was alot of fun.
People don't get married when they are 20 anymore. Sometimes we need to remind the previous generation of that!
Muah!
Missed reading you posts, glad to be back!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, girl! How you had a good day despite how you were woken up.
Your uncle sounds just like mine. He actually introduces me as "This is my niece. Isn't she pretty? She's smart too. We gotta get her married off."

Loveya,
Haley

That's when you shut them up... with the "Well I was not alive... I would not have to worry about any of that now would I..."
