I think I remember how this conversation went

 

"Get out of that pen."

"But I'm not in the pen."

"Get out of that pen. Now!"

"But I'm not inside the pen."

Yup, I could be a handful.

Thank you, dearest Mom and Dad, for all the adventures and this dear life. I'll raise a glass to our extended family, and I'll do it with gratitude, longing, and love. 

Happy birthday to me; I owe it all to you.
