Happy 90th Mom

Last Monday was my mother's 90th birthday. She's pretty amazing. She lives alone (in an apartment building) and has tons of friends coming in and out of her apartment all day long. She drives, too. She's only put the car in drive instead of reverse once, that I know of!!!

We had a party at her place. Cousins, grandchildren, friends. About 20 people, not too big. Just right!

I ordered a birthday cake from Wimp's Bakery in Harlem. They're famous! Old fashioned, sky-high, amazing cakes. I had them write "Happy Birthday M-A-G" on the cake - mother, aunt, grandma ... get it??? Cause there wasn't enough to write it all out, and she's not just a mother, she's a lot of things.

The salesgirl said, "Wow, that's amazing that your mother, aunt and grandmother were all born on the same day." No matter how many times I tried to explain, she just couldn't get it. "No," I explained. "She's my mother, but she's my cousin's aunt, and my kid's grandmother." "Wow," she answered, "So funny that they're all born on the same day." We went a few rounds. I finally gave in, and said, "Yeah, I know. What a coincidence!"

And then my mother's friend said, "Is MAG your mother's nick-name?"

I give up! I thought it was so clever.
