Youtube, birthdays and heroes.

This is cheesy, and warm and fuzzy and slightly awkward.

Youtube has probably the greatest sixth sense of all time. I’d go as far as saying YouTube is Nostradamus on steroids.
Youtube somehow knows that i’m an aunty and that a cousin sister is expecting a baby in a month.
Youtube knows exactly what hooks me in and without fail, presents that in a box with a golden bow tie- Baby videos and birth vlogs.

Yep.

I’m not exactly upset with the fact that Youtube has caught up with me. Its taught me something through the dozens of recommendations it has shown me- that I’ve been celebrating the wrong people on birthdays the whole time.

The mother is truly the hero of the birthday. Don’t you think?

Birthday number 0- a battle a mother fights for someone who needs a desperate gulp of air and she wins.
Birthdays thereon- we celebrate the one that was pulled out and saved! The babe becomes the hero of the day.

Its a pretty obvious but not obvious, useless but not useless realisation this.
So what do I plan to do with it?
I will probably give my mum a “Push present”.
But will I thank my friend’s mum on my friend’s birthday?…
Hmm.. Probably not.
