The Princess is 13 today. Her aunt gave her clothes from India. I took a picture to send to my sister (the donor). “Call it ‘cultural appropriation’,” suggested herself.
Incidentally, you might note the complete inability of anyone who lives in this house to shut the door.
Her main celebration is on Saturday but tonight she had a small cake. Behold the birthday cake of a child with two working parents:

Happy Birthday Princess (somewhat belated …)
Does the inability to shut doors also extend to an inability to turn off lights?
Thank you for birthday wishes – I am enjoying them vicariously. Actually we are amazing at turning out lights and I am constantly going out to the hall and finding it a well of darkness.
Yes, I saw it; it was so amazing I felt it warranted a post of its own!
