    Wth? That’s a birth week. That’s not how normal people celebrate.

    I’m coming over tomorrow to show you how to properly do birthdays. Also, do you know a place where I can find 14,000+ candles for your cake?

      No, that’s not true. A birth week recurs yearly, not weekly.

      A birth day is the day on which you were born, say Saturday, and you’ll have one of those every week.

      A birth week is the number of the week in which you were born, say week 14, and it takes a year before it’s week 14 again. Same interval as a birth month.

      A birth date only occurs once. It’ll never be July 4, 1981 ever again.

      This is all very normal and logical. Beep boop.
