Half a birthday

Since it’s Flag Day, it must also be my “half-birthday,” a useful modern invention for those of us with December birthdays who got cheated by fate out of a proper commemoration of our actual birthdays. (Interestingly enough, both of my parents and my first cousin also have December birthdays, and my birthday is exactly between my parents’ birthdays. Numerologists would have a field day with all this, of course.)

My birthday is December 26th but I had the sting of the bad timing lessened to a large extent by being an only child and also by being the only grandchild on both sides of the family.
