Next week my dad is going to the Philippines for a month vacation.
Here is a conversation my dad and I had at the karaoke restaurant last week.
ME: You're leaving for the Philippines soon! Are you excited?
DAD Yeah, I'm going to miss your birthday.
ME: Yeah.
DAD: It's on October 11th right?
ME: No Dad, my birthday is on October 13!!
DAD: oh okay.

RESTAURANT HOSTESS: What school do you go to?
ME: I've already graduated.
RESTAURANT HOSTESS: You've graduated high school?
ME: No, I've graduated college.
RESTAURANT HOSTESS: Really? How old are you?
ME: I'm going to be 24 next month.
RESTAURANT HOSTESS: Your dad said you were 18!
ME: What?!

Yes, after almost 24 years, my dad still forgets when my birthday and how old I am. I still love him though! :-)
