You know, I have this game I play.

See, for the past three years, my family has forgotten my birthday. I don't remind them myself because I want to see if they'll remember it on their own. Usually I wait until the end of the day to tell them "Hey, forgetting something?", and then they go "oooohhh", and then they feel sad and sorry for me.

Last year, I didn't even tell them until the next day. Next time, I'm going to not tell them until the end of the month.

In reality, I don't like birthday celebrations, so I'm actually happy they forget.
