Dream CCXVIII

 A lot of people met in the town square to celebrate birthdays.  We were just going to celebrate the birthdays that, for some reason, we'd overlooked during the year.

I was assigned to celebrate one of the birthday folks, so I led a chorus of folks in the "Happy Birthday To You" song, but I forgot her name at the crucial point, so I sang "blah blah."  Fortunately no one noticed.  I still felt really bad about it, though.

I felt even worse when my own birthday came around, and there was a full orchestral song celebrating my birthday.  In my mind, I pretended they were celebrating someone else.
