Happy Birthday!!!!!!!! Hope you have a fantastic day!
Have a fantastic birthday! But you can't fool us, we know you look much too young to have been born in 1962... Maybe 1972.
Well, just for the sake of sayin' so, you're far and away my favorite of the birthday folks you mentioned. . .
Have a happy birthday, Phyllis!
;)
