Put The Sparkler Out, Ma'am

To make sure everyone in the surreal, un-cyber world knew it was my birthday yesterday I carried a lit sparkler (just like the one pictured here) with me all day and encouraged anyone in my path to sing me "Happy Birthday." Sometimes they cooperated. Sometimes I got chased by hunky fireman and told to, "Put the sparkler out, ma'am." To which I replied, "Make me." Seriously. The things I do for attention. I should be ashamed of myself, but at 59, what's the point? I was born silly and plan to stay silly. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
