[There is a banner:

Happy Birthday, Princess Dairine!!!!!!!!!!!

Beneath the banner, there is a tea party set up and a very displeased 11 12-year-old in a sparkly pink princess costume. In fact, no matter who you are, you may find yourself in a similar accoutrement. You also may find yourself drawn to said tea party whether or not you know the "

[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.

[therictorscale]

I got you a card. [it's printed out on folded A4 paper and has funny pictures of cats all over it]

[motherbored]

You really didn't have to.

[Takes it]

I mean, thank you.

[Smiling a little at it]

[therictorscale]

I wanted to.

[Looks at the cat pictures and smiles a bit, then opens it up]

[it says 'Happy birthday nerd! Love Julio']

So, 12. That's an exciting age.

[motherbored]

Thanks.

[Closes it and sets it on the table]

That's what I hear. Either that or pretty terrible. I think the jury's still out.

[therictorscale]

Here's hoping it's better for you than it was for me.

[motherbored]

Luckily, I think I have the supernatural realization stuff done before now, so that's one less thing to fret about.

[therictorscale]

You know I have no idea what that means, right?

[motherbored]

Well, you had mutant stuff to worry about, right? Or did that come later? But I already know I'm a wizard, so I don't have to do with that and normal kid stuff.

I just have to worry about the sun exploding or something equally disastrous.

[therictorscale]

Oh, just the sun exploding? Is that all? I think the mutant stuff came then but I don't know; it's been a long time.

[motherbored]

Well, no, the universe expanding is really the biggest thing I can put my finger on, but the sun exploding would be less cool.

Sorry to bring it up, anyway.
