[motherbored]

Not my fault!

[therictorscale]

Fine. Happy birthday.

[motherbored]

Thanks. I really didn't want to make a big deal out of it. That'll show me.

[mythbusting]

Okay.

So at least mine's blue.

[motherbored]

That's totally unfair! Pink. Blech. Dresses are bad enough.

[mythbusting]

Are you missing that I'm a guy in a dress?

[motherbored]

Well.

You could have pink.

You might be surprised what a redhead may wear, with the appropriate confidence as an accessory - your highness.

[motherbored]

No no no no no no. Not actually a princess. Believe me. The sign is not being truthful.

[andcontrarywise]

Not even only for your birthday?

[motherbored]

[is wearing this except in a teenage size, and carrying a small wrapped box]

...um.

Happy Birthday?

[motherbored]

Thanks, Violet. Sorry about all this.

[purple_pliers]

I don't believe for a second that it's your fault.

[hands her the box]

[motherbored]

Violet, you really didn't have to!

I mean, thank you...

[Takes it]

Should I open it?

[ICON]

I think it looks good on you!

[motherbored]

Thanks, but dresses really aren't my thing.

You look nice, though.

[hisshortcake]

Eheh! It's nice to mix things up every once in awhile, right?

[motherbored]

Variety is the spice of life!
