New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Thirteen years of you, and we still can't believe how fast. Happy birthday.
Sweet 16, sir — though I suspect you'd prefer sharp 16. Granted.
Happy 16th birthday — the year you suddenly become tall, opinionated, and occasionally driving.
Sixteen is a strange country. Pack snacks and a sense of humor.
Cheers to sixteen — old enough to argue well, young enough to be wrong gracefully.
