For some reason, I somehow didn’t like my birthday since I was a child. For some reason, I was always very unlucky in this. But what to do? If relatives and colleagues wanted a holiday? I had to prepare. When I retired, my grandchildren, daughter and son-in-law always came to greet me.

– Larissa, will you come to me on Saturday? – Of course, let’s come! I stood at the stove for two days. She cooked a lot of food. I tried to please everyone: my daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. At lunch I set the table, put on a nice dress and waited for the guests.

Late in the evening I realized that no one would come to visit me. Everyone just forgot about me. I was so sad and hurt. I called to find out my daughter: maybe something happened. It turned out that everything was fine. My daughter just forgot about my birthday.

When she saw me, she shouted all over the street:

“Mom, where have you been?” I’m already looking for you all over the city! I have already called all the penitentiaries! What are you doing? Where did you go? – I went to rest! It seems to me that I deserved it! “What were you doing?” – I could not believe what was happening Larissa. – Rested. Here, let’s meet, Victor Stepanovich. My fiancé. “Who?” – You did not hear. Come to your senses and come with us. I will give you gifts for you, son-in-law and grandchildren! I said calmly
