Spare Me Your Spare Birthdays

(We are snuggled up on our couch after dinner.)

Boyfriend: *pokes my nose* “Happy birthday!”

Me: “Huh?” *my birthday is in about four months*

Boyfriend: “Now you have a spare!”

Me: *confused look*

Boyfriend: *smiles proudly* “If I forget to say it on your real birthday, just think back to this moment!”
