The Chu Forums

on saturday i post on facebook "i think i was more popular when i had a birthday everyday" and it got some decent response in the way of likes and such. so i thought saturday night i'd change my bday to june 3rd (sunday) to see what happens. got the typical happy birthdays on my wall but also a lot of suspicious people who remember last year's 2 month birthday run.

anyway, a member the congregation said something like "i hope your day is full of surprises". he's sort of a joker (on april fool's day he set every single clock in the house ahead an hour, and they showed up to church an hour early haha), so i wondered if he was up to something. service was about to start and he walked in without his family. i asked if it was just him, and he said no, they're all coming. he had a weird smile on his face. then his two daughters came in all jumpy and giddy. they're usually pretty happy, but they seemed even more so then. i figured something was up, i just didn't know what.

then came time in the service for my children's story. i asked them to come up and they did, bringing balloons, party hats and a little cupcake with a candle in it and sang happy birthday. half the congregation got it, but a lot of the seniors were like wtf. i had to explain that it wasn't my birthday and that it was a facebook joke gone to the max level extreme wax a chump like a candle.

i could barely get through my story after that haha. their parents were cracking up.

haha... so his parents actually believed it was your bday?

no, they knew from the first time i posted my fake bday last year. the dad's birthday is a day before mine, so he remembers haha. so they always laugh at the fact i kept changing it.

Man, they got you pretty good. That's funny.

yeah, they left the balloons and a party hat in my office. they made me some birthday cards too.
