My Best and Worst Birthday
Sometimes, a little nudge can send someone over a cliff
My 13th birthday started the same as all of the previous ones. Mom got a cake from the grocery store, where she “had a guy” she trusted to write our names correctly, and she ordered a pizza from Dino’s. Grandma and Grandpa, my mom’s parents (my dad’s folks were always busy), came over, and we did the cake and presents thing.
