Un poeta famoso dijo que un diplomático es un hombre quién siempre se acuerda del cumpleaños de una mujer pero nunca de su edad. Estoy de acuerda con él.

A famous poet said that a diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age. I agree with him.

El cumpleaños de mi novio es el quince de diciembre, pero lo celebramos en junio. Cuando era más joven, no recibió regalos porque su cumpleaños está cerca de la navidad.

My boyfriend is December 15th, but we celebrate it in June. When he was much younger, he didn't receive gifts because his birthday is close to Christmas.

Los cumpleaños son mucho más importante para los niños. Así que debe ser.

Birthdays are much more important for children. As it should be.

(I'm sure I butchered that last sentence. Ayudame, por favor.)
