So Grandma turned 80 the second week of September, and despite having 2 birthday celebrations (one on her birthday and one the day after) I never had to sing the Birthday song. Though I did make a banana cake that turned out pretty well if I do say so myself (I will refrain from commenting about the frosting).
My Aunt Sara and cousin Emily came in on the late flight the day of, so we had cake around 11:30, and then again the next day after the official birthday dinner.
Earlier in the day some of my Uncle James' kids called to wish Grandma a happy birthday, and since the phone had been on the fritz we didn't pick up. Grandma had been getting birthday calls all day, but the handheld hadn't been charging well and was often dead when you picked it up, so we listened to the King kids sing a very nice rendition of the birthday song, even if it was in several different keys.
When the time came for the customary chorus before the consumption of cake later that night, Grandpa went over to the answering machine and played the recording again, instead of asking us to sing. We heard the message again the next day before eating the other half of the cake. :)
