Today is the day, my 28th birthday.
And as some of you remember from my son’s birthday last month, there is a certain tradition in my family. My mom has generously agreed to share that tradition here with you.
Now, I did not watch all of this video before posting it here, because I’m saving it for my real life actual birthday. (It’s a thing.) But I will warn you that she says she’s wearing no makeup and looks like “an old nasty crackwhore”.
I assure you, my mom is not actually an old nasty crackwhore.
I’ll also warn you that from the 10 seconds or so that I did see, the video and the audio are not really in sync. At all. So, there’s that.
Oh. And it’s probably only really of interest to me, and my mom. Because for us, this is the day that it all started. And we’re probably the only two people in the world who really knows what that means.
ANYway, I give you, in my mother’s own words…
“This is the story of the day Miss Britt was born - before she was Miss Britt.”
Direct link is here.
P.S. I love you too, Mom.
P.P.S. This is what she looks like normally… not a crackwhore

Awwwwwwwww. . . .
Still can’t believe you stole my idea.
I forgive you because it’s your birthday.
Love you and happy birthday, Brittini!
Happy Birthday!
That is so, so sweet!!
Happy Birthday!
(Oh and your mom doesn’t look like any crackwhores I’ve ever seen!)
That is so sweet and awesome of your Mom!
I’ll tell you the same thing I told you at Avitable’s….you deserve all of the best and I hope this year brings it to you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEETIE!
A very happy birthday to you!!!!!
Happy Happy Birthday, Brit.
Happy Birthday!!
Hope it’s your best birthday ever!
Oh.My.God. Tears. This one made me cry too. Happy birthday Britt, to one of the strongest women I know. I hope that this year you are blessed with everything you could possibly ever want, and more. You deserve it!
Happiest of birthdays. Even if you are a heathen woman who allows other men call you a whore.
The shame.
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, Miss Brittini! Your heart and open life-sharing make this blog/community the best (Hey, remember your nomination? Did you get it)?
Cool, I got to see Mom in virtual (love her posts). Mom: I’m usually offering lame humor, only rarely world views. Britt is clearly red-hot.
PS: I’d cut Jack some slack: he may not have been prepared for “purple & goopy” or slimy & alien, etc. Probably just needed a moment alone to shake the first impression until they could hose her down.
Happy Birthday!! Have a wonderful day!
PS. Now I know why you look so young, your Mum looks about 14 too!
Happy Birthday sugar
I hope you have a great day and someone is clever enough to buy you some shoes!!
I love your family tradition–it’s a great way to preserve an pass along those stories.
And Britt’s mom–you continue to RAWK–and you oin no way look like a crack whore LOL
And since there’s no cake I you’ll have to make due with
Awwwwww mommy, thank you.

Happy birthday Miss Britt! Your smilies are nicer than Avi’s.
sorry it took me so long to get to this post this morning.
You and your mom both are soooo pretty.
So, happy birthday to you, you little 28 year old baby. And your mom is totally awesome!!!
Happy Britt-day
Happy birthday to my favorite crack-baby. :wave:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
This just occurred to me.
Please note that in the “not a crack whore” photo both Miss Britt and I are wearing heavy winter coats from when she was here this Christmas Eve.
Somehow that makes me laugh, my suddenly turned cold intolerant little baby.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Your Mama looks more like your sister!! And so NOT a crack whore!!
Happy Birthday….hope this year is the best one ever (complete with kick ass shoes and a one night stand with Prince).
:)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEETIE! Hope it’s a great day for you. :) :) :)
Happy Birthday! Enjoy yourself.
I am assuming the Mr. Avitable gave you the day off, right?
Came by way of Hilly~~ Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday! When do we get to see your birthday suit?? Hmmm?
January 17th is also my Father’s birthday and my Brother in Law’s Birthday. …and Mohammad Ali who is exactly the same age as my Dad, which really pisses at least ONE of them off because they are convinced they are NOWHERE near as old as the other. As a good son I mention the fact every year.
Awwww. That is so freakin’ sweet.
Happy Birthday!!!!
Your mom is fabulous - the apple don’t fall far from the tree and all that stuff. Love, Bossy.
That should say HAPPY BIRTHDAY love, Bossy.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you…
Visiting from Hilly’s blog. Hope you have a great day.
TWENTY fucking EIGHT!!! I no wanna hear it!!! I’ll be 10 years older than you are in another ehm… 37 days!!!
Ok… I’m done screaming now…
Happy
Happy 
Birthday 
Chica!
Happy Birthday missie. I hear you have a crush on me. Well how about a Prince sandwich with Ms Britt and her very hot Mom??
That made me cry. And it is similar to my birth story of my first child. Who, OMG, is just 6 1/2 years younger than you! I am old.
Happy birthday, honey. You rawk and so does your mommy.
I can’t wait to go home and hear the coolest mom in the world!
Happy Birthday Britt!
And here’s to another year of memories……
Happy Birthday Ms. B.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Phew I’m so glad to see I missed the singing. I mean for your sake. Because when I sing dogs usually start to howl and that might piss off your new neighbors.
Happy Birthday Miss Britt!!
uhhh…can’t talk; tears are slowly trickling down and there’s a giant lump in my throat….
I guess only those of us who are mothers can have that instant, detailed flashback to “the day”, but oh, what a sweet memory it is!
Happy birthday, sweetie!
I am a tad late to the party. Dreadfully sorry, I was unavoidably detained.
Britt, my friend, you know how I feel about you. Actually, how both Mrs. Fab and I feel about you. We absolutely adore you and love you to pieces.
Happy birthday. And I am still looking for the perfect gift…
Happy birthday there, my friend!
(Why no shoe icons?)
Happy, happy birthday, blahblahblahblahblahBLAH! (I’ve never understood what they sing in the restaurant Happy Birthday song…)
I’m glad I remembered to stop by and wish you a happy birthday before I crawled off to bed.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS BRITT!!!
*Whew, that was close.
That’s the sweetest video!
Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday, Miss Britt!
Hope you have a wonderful one.
Happy Birthday Miss Britt! (It’s only 11:00 here - so it counts!)
Hope it was great!
Happy Birthday. Hope you had a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday Sweet Britt!
