Gary woke up and came in to my room singing and dancing to the birthday song. Then he spoke to me for forty-five straight minutes about this hummingbird house he bought that he feels is too small for the hummingbirds.
Gary: “One hummingbird couldn’t fit in there, much less two.”
Me: “Why would there need to be two?”
Gary: “Well when they have sex, obviously.”

Happy birthday!
That sounds like a less-than-satisfying TED talk about hummingbirds, but at least you got a song.
Was the hummingbird house a birthday gift for you? For him? For the hummingbirds?
Well, after the birthday song Gary front-ran the gift question by gesturing like Vanna at my new bed and declaring it my birthday gift. He did come back from the grocery with a birthday cupcake and one person bombe. I can’t blame him: I’ve been gifting myself everything I want lately.
