But if I weren't so sure of that fact, this previous phone conversation on my birthday might have made me question their affection.
*********************************************
Mom: Hi Honey, how are you doing?
ME: Great. I'm studying as usual. It sucks.
Mom: Awww. Well, we finally got your Christmas present in the mail today.
ME: Sheesh! It's 4 days late! Stupid post-office lady assured me it would arrive before Christmas day
Mom: Well, your dad loves it. He put it on his desk.
ME: Ummmm...Mom...don't you want to tell me something?
Mom: Hmm? Tell you what?
ME: You know...tell me something?
Mom: (silence)
ME: MOMMY!!! Isn't there something you want to TELL me, TODAY?!!!!
Mom: (long pause) OH!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Oh Happy (belated) Birthday Christina!! I hope you enjoyed it at least a little even though it's in the middle of finals.

Thanks Tammy. But alas, my birthday will have to celebrated post-finals, like everything else in my bleak 1L life.
