'Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you...' A child's first birthday is an occasion for the parents toremember the birth that took place twelve months ago.It's only when they're older that children enjoy their birthday parties. Before opening the presents, they blowout the candles.Parents explain that the tradition is to make a wish at the same time. Just keep it secret and it will come true.

It's a tough job getting custard pies thrown at you all daylong! Isn't that right, Mister Clown?It's easy to find ideas for children's presents. They want toys and video games. An adult's birthday isdifferent. Friends give presents, but the choosing is more difficult. Instead of toys, adults get jewelry, clothesor knickknacks.Fortunately, most stores allow you to exchange presents you don't like! Go ahead, Madam, open it - thepresent isn't just that nice box with ribbons!And how do adults have fun? They either invite their friends over for dinner, or they meet in a bar to have adrink before going to a restaurant. And since it's your birthday, you're king for the evening!After dinner, you can go to a nightclub and dance until dawn. When you're young, evenings that go on untilthe wee hours of the morning don't frighten you. As you get older, however, you might find the music a littlebit too loud!If you find the day after difficult, imagine how the Queen of England feels: she has two birthdays a year! Ohdear, oh dear, oh dear! Quick! Aspirin!
