mia's birthday elephant

so there was a man dressed in a green elephant suit outside the chevron today. he was not outwardly promoting anything, no sign waving or message on his t-shirt, so the purpose of the elephant was not entirely clear. so it must have been mia's birthday elephant because today is mia's birthday and why else would that man be in an elephant costume.

on our way to school i told mia about her birthday river as we crossed the river and also her birthday rapid transit bus. before we got to her school mia pointed out to me that i had failed to mention her birthday train so as we passed the train mia screamed excitedly about mia's birthday choo choo.

This is wonderful. My uncle was born on the day his city celebrates the birthday of "Uncle Sam" Wilson, so he always pretended the parades and fireworks are for him.
