Non Senior Officers & Birhdays & Plastic Containers

Funny Thoughts Tonight:

So Mara, bless her heart, wanted to initiate a new part to our monthly meetings to recognize members who have birthdays that month.  I was the first guinea pig and the only present January birthday.  Mara’s birthday recognition was clever and very nice but was embarrassing to me when I was the only focus of being sung “Happy Birthday” to. 😲 There were no members with birthdays present in February.  Well March was a big birthday month and included Mara.  I had to plan on adding something because I knew that Mara would not recognize her own birthday.  So when birthday recognition time came, Mara recognized the members with birthdays in her own special way, and we also reminded her that she had had a March birthday also.  When she finished, I quickly had to add, “Wait, there is one more thing.”  I then quickly grabbed my own birthday paraphernalia and put it on the table where I was sitting.  I then opened a loud cracking plastic container, and quickly started pulling small plates out of a package and placing cupcakes on top of each.  A senior member and officer and former Regent looked at me confused and said “What are you doing?”  Mara’s part already involved little birthday tiara crowns to be placed on the birthday ladies heads and I was adding the decorative birthday cupcakes.  I passed them out and wished “Happy Birthday!” to each lady with a birthday and Mara also received a card.  I’m not sure what all the higher up chapter members thought of all this.  They were probably wondering how our monthly meetings had come to include little birthday parties. 🥳🌟🎂  Oh well. 😂🤣😂 I have no doubt that if Mara sticks with the chapter, she will in the future be elected as Regent if it is a role that she would like.  I forgot to add that at the meeting Mara directed the singing of “Happy Birthday” by pointing to tables so each table pointed to would sing the next word.  Mara is a theater teacher. 😄 🎭 

Update:  Oh my goodness.  I just realized that this story has a plastic container theme and also a cake theme.  It just dawned on me now.  🧁📕
