I'm not any more anxious to
grow old than you are, but I do like
my family to remember my
birthday each year, This month
when my annual marker rolled
round, it was evident by dinner
time that evening that net one
single member of my household
would think of my birthday.
I didn't even think of my own
birthday until everyone was away
for the day. Oh well, I thought,
they're keeping the surprise for
the dinner hour when we're all
together. My daughter will bake a
cake and fuss over it—candles
and all. My youngest son will have
eyes as bright as saucers trying
to keep the secret. My oldest son
will appear very disinterested but
he'll let me know in his own way
that he approves of the festivities.
And my husband, I thought, will
make my day with the kind of
practical surprise that only he
can muster.
On my arrival home for dinner,
I discovered that my husband had
made plans' to go out with the
fellows for dinner, My daughter
was in a rush to get to a friend's
house to work on a school project.
My youngest son was engrossed in
a television show and my eldest
boy was in a black mood because
of pending examinations.
It was obvious at that point my
family had forgotten me.
"Is there anything special for
dessert?" I asked my daughter,
still hoping they were keeping me
in suspense until the last moment.
"No", she said.
"I thought we'd be having
cake," 1 said just before the
torrent of tears which had welled
up forced their way to the surface,
Some of my friends who already
know about this episode have
questioned my Christianity
because I put my family through
such a time of suffering as
immediately followed the
realization that they'd done it
again. Let me assure you all, I
have no particular malice for my

family. I love them all dearly, But
like Flip Wilson says, it must
have been the devil who made me
carry on the way I did that
horrible evening. I just couldn't
help myself.
My children assured me they
knew my birthday was upcoming,
In fact, they'd planned a big
celebration for three nights
hence. I asked them just to forget
it. I told them I'd not wanted gifts
in the first place—just their love
and good health. But still I cried
uncontrollably.
My husband said he was sorry, I
knew he was. It was evident in his
eyes that he was truly regretting
his forgetfulness. But still I
wailed.
"I'll shoot myself," he offered.
"That's not necessary," I
sobbed.
"Why didn't you give me a hint
like other normal wives do," he
shouted, "Why didn't you just say
something to remind me?"
"So now it is my fault that you
forgot my birthday is it?" I cried,
hating myself for saying it.
"Somehow everything turns out to
be my fault."
"The neighbors remembered
my birthday," I wept. "The kids
down at the office had a little
coffee clatch for me, My aunt
remembered me. My cousin
remembered me, My church even
remembered me. The house is
full of birthday cards and gifts
from them. But not one of you
could remember to say "Happy
Birthday". A fine family I've
got."
As I twisted the knife the tears
flowed harder. I cried and cried
until I had everyone feeling as
miserable as I was, I had my
revenge.
I really didn't want to be that
way. But my human emotions got
the better of me and I had messed
up my birthday in a way that none
of us will ever forget.
Was I right? Was I wrong? Was I
justified? You tell me.

BY ANDRE AMSING
Hair on a man's chest has
traditionally been a badge of
manliness. It went with good
muscles, good looks and brains.
In fact, the young man would go out
of the way to display his chest. He
is as arrogant and proud as a
monkey he claims to be "father."
Alas, I cannot claim such
distinction. I have failed in my
quest for manliness.
Already, I am nudging my 20th
year. All 1 have•to show for my
anxieties is one lonely, scruffy-
looking hair. Even at 13 years of
age I could sense the symptoms of
the dreaded disease "bare chest"
appearing, or not appearing, if
you like. If you have ever been 13
yob will recall how desperate that
situation can be.
I had been told by an eminent
teacher that a concoction of water
and chicken manure (minus the
feathers), would, because of its
high phosphate content, cause the
hair cells to sprout.
"Just apply three times daily,"
said he. I faithfully strived to
follow the strict schedule.
Strangely enough, throughout
that school year, the classmates
had a weird habit of avoiding me.
You'd think I smelled or
something,
I was infatuated with the
opposite sex at the time (I still
have that interest) and was
slightly worried. I discovered a

perfume which was guaranteed to
"wow" the girls. A liberal
dowsing was required for every
application of the concoction.
Apparently, however, the girls
found the musty mixture to be
devastating and still avoided me,
One day, in my 16th year, a tiny
hair appeared. How I cultivated it!
First the concoction was
rubbed in, Then it was washed off
with an antibacterial soap. I
shined up the hair with lemon oil
and twisted it around a tiny stick
to give it a dignified curl.
I was jubilant. A hair, the
answer to my dreams had come
forth. Now, I could call myself a
man.
Mind you, it was the first, and
also the last hair. The only other
growths were pimples.
Just recently, however, I had
occasion to inspect my hair. It
wasn't there. Wildly wondering if
someone had stolen it, I
scratched around in the skin. It
had completely disappeared, My
remorse was inestimable. The
plummage of my manhood had
departed. Interestingly enough,
though, I don't feel any less a man,
The eminent teacher's thicken
manure must have eaten away at
that iron-sheathed hair. The
chemistry textbook relates the
decaying powers of phosphorous
on metal. My hair lasted four
years, Doesn't that make me a
man.
