Birth-day to-day
Today is May 5. Today is my boy’s birthday!
Congratulations. You have now turned twenty-one, in the twenty-first century.
I hear that 21 is a Fibonacci number, a Harshad number, a Motzkin number, a triangular number and an octagonal number. I’d prefer that your age was of the Fibonacci variety (in honour of the novelty of having a mathematical pattern that I understand!)
You can legally drink in the US. Helpfully, it was the 21st Amendment of their Constitution that ended prohibition.
Symbolically, I’d suggest you roll a die today. 1+2+3+4+5+6 = 21! 21 spots on your 21st birthday must be good luck! A game of blackjack (also known as 21, for the players at home) probably wouldn’t go astray either.
Channelling a bit of socialist sentiment this morning? Is your facial hair growing so fast you’re going to have a biker beard by lunchtime? It might be because Communist extraordinaire Marx was born today in 1818 (and Google his facial adornment. I fear you’ll all feel emasculated by his display).
You’ve turned 21 on the 124th day of the year; just as you were born with 240 days left of 1989. And its International Midwives Day! And in case you were concerned that you’re now a bit too old to commemorate how you emerged into the world, you could always visit Palau and celebrate how old you’re getting on their Senior Citizen’s Day.
Happy XXI birthday Rhys!
