Happy Birthday!

A very large, very polite monster has an announcement: he would like the cake now, please. He asked once. That is plenty. I hope your day is enormous — the kind of enormous that fills the whole street, wears a tiny party hat, and still remembers its manners. May it be loud in the best way, full of people who show up, and sweet all the way down to the last crumb. Happy birthday. I love you. I hope this year is huge.

With love (and a reasonably sized slice),
