A few days late, a birthday card arrived in the mail today from my father.
With a multitude of exclamation points -- and even an uncharacteristic smiley face -- he congratulated and *teased* me about my birthday. Of all things, he told me I would "get used to" my advancing age. But he softened the pain by sending me a fat gift card.
I'm not sure what to do about it, though.
See, my dad believes I've just turned 40.
And I haven't. I'm 39. It was my older sister, my dad's first child, who turned 40 this year.
Several thoughts have found space in my mind about this. But I suppose the main one is pretty simple: Should I tell him? And if so, how?
