Pretending to ignore the money
Giving and receiving gifts is always a lot of fun, but there is something supremely awkward about both giving and getting money as a gift. Sure, everybody likes to see a crisp $20 bill inside of their birthday card, but there’s some social standard that sa ys that we all have to pretend like it’s not there when we get it.
That seems silly to us. We wish that we could just look our uncle in the eye and say, “Thanks for the money, pal.” But no, that’s a faux pas. Ugh. We’ll never understand modern society.
Celebrating a train’s birthday
We never really thought that we would feel emotional because of someone throwing a cake at an old train, but hey, here we are. This person wanted to celebrate the 145th birthday of an old locomotive, so they baked a cake for it.
Obviously the train can’t eat it, though, so they did the next best thing: they just threw the cake into the firebox of the vehicle. It’s just nice to imagine an old train that hardly gets any attention having a whole party thrown for it. That must have made that train’s day!
