I used to believe my birthday was a place instead of a day. My birthday is April fourth. I thought that the fourth was the same place you went when you went back and forth. Once my mom told me my birthday was coming up while we were going somewhere in the car, so I was very dissapointed when I found out our final destination wasn't the fourth.
