The Text

Ex-fling, banker thing from 2003 texted me at 11:08pm on April 1:

"It's my birthday!"

My assumption is that it was a mass phone-wide text sent to all women in his blackberry from 2000 onwards--but then again, maybe it was directed to me.

I am wont to phone him once a year merely to express: "How's my favorite joke? Having a good birthday?" This is our thing, since his birthday does fall on April Fool's Day and while he's no fool, he sure made a fool of me back in the day.
