Birthdays... when you're a kid, you just can't wait for them. You reach a certain age, though, when you wish they'd go away for various reasons. Mostly, because it means you're getting old. Some families are too enthusiastic about birthdays, however, and you really can't get away from the fact you're a year older. Ever.
This is inspirations of Hufflepuff writing for the 'Life Begins at Forty' challenge. :) This placed second in 'Life Begins at 40'!
Story Notes: I would like to thank Hailey/grangergurl for beta'ing this! -hugs- And, '40' is referred to via the bus number. :)
