#e-cards

It's a very easy date to miss altogether in the shadow of December and New Year's celebrations. Growing up, I often received combo holiday and birthday presents. I was taught to thank relatives and friends and not complain that it wasn't fair. Nowadays, an e-card can be scheduled for auto-delivery to someone's inbox months in advance, so it's not even necessary to remember someone's birthday.

GENTLE READER: What house were you in? Sorry, just a little joke from a school where they learn to avoid that tedious conversation by answering Where did you go to college? with In the northeast. But your questioners are also asking about test scores? Miss Manners would be unable to resist asking incredulously, Do you even remember your old test scores? And if they say yes, you can say, Well, you must be really smart. Without adding and must not have a life.
