Summer Babies Are Stupid
Are you a summer baby? Then you might not want to read this. Not that you'd understand it anyway.

NO YOUR STOOPID, DUTYHED
Here is why you should not have a summer baby, especially an end-of-summer baby, if you can avoid it: because when they are kids, they will not be able to have their moms bring cupcakes to school for their birthdays like their friends' moms do. When they schedule their birthday parties, half their friends will be away on vacation and won't be able to come. They will not be happy with a party two weeks later in September because it's just not the same. When they get to college, their birthdays will be during orientation when everyone is busy. Forget about parties, no one will even remember to call them to just say "happy birthday." When they become adults, they will still be bitter about it long after they stopped really caring about birthdays.
Ahem, so I've heard.
@major disaster "call them"
@deepomega Haha, yes, this is what happens when an old person tells an anecdote. I mean, um, hypothetical.
@major disaster TRUTH. Also you will never get a real birthday acknowledgment at school. At the most you will get a lump celebration along with everyone else who was born the summer before. But in most cases, nothing.
So, I'm born for woe, but at least I'm not stupid. Yay.
@Brunhilde I thought Friday's child was full of woe? Which is me. So I'm woeful AND apparently stupid. Rats.
I just feel bad for the baby stock photo model whose picture was used to illustrate "stupid baby."
And I already knew I'm not very smart; this just gives me a good excuse for it.
Dammit, I share a birthday with that bastard GWB. Guess I'd better read the article you linked to.
OK, never mind, I don't fit the mold presented in the article. Phew!
Yes, as someone born in August, that article is obvious.
YOU"RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME, BALK!!
