It's A Shame

It's a shame when people have good intentions in showing their friendship or love by contacting you on your Birthday,
a special day that in and of itself should be celebrated with joy and laughter,
but wind up considering their own welfare and impede any joy by forcing an argument.
It's a shame when you ask them to change the subject and discuss some topic that is more agreeable and celebrates the day of ones birth and they refuse to change the subject.
It's a shame when they refuse to and push to force the issue and exude a pompous attitude of winning an argument on the other person's birthday.
It's a shame when the birthday girl pleads with the caller to please change the subject as that it is her birthday and then the caller hangs up!
It's a shame when the caller hangs up because they cannot keep the silly benign argument going.
It's a shame when that caller is your only sister calling you on your birthday!
