birthday

September 26, 2009

it’s definitely not my birthday…not anytime soon.

i was watching this jdrama, buzzer beat, earlier. there’s this one scene wherein the female lead got a call from her mom greeting her a happy birthday. the female lead, crying, thanked her mom for giving birth to her. and this scene got me thinking.

how come in our society during birthdays we are greeting the one who was born on that day? why not greet the one who gave birth, who took care of the child from her womb until the day the baby was born into the world. i mean, most of the work comes from the mother, right?
