I celebrated my 49th last year.
My wife had to work late. My daughters were working, and couldn’t get the night off. I had to photograph two games, one at 3pm and the other a 7 pm—two hours from home.
I got home and found a cupcake with a candle in it at 1 AM.
Its not that my family doesn’t love me, its just that we are all grown up and we understand what it means to be an adult—sometimes we have to do things we would prefer not to, in order to get the things we need.
Just don’t forget your wife’s birthday or you’re anniversary. That is a job a man can’t get out of.
“its just that we are all grown up and we understand what it means to be an adult”
I don’t think someone as childish and narcissistic as BHO could ever understand what you’re trying to say here. As someone else said, if this is what he does for his 49th, what can we expect for his 50th?
