What’s the worst thing that happened to you on your birthday?

On my 5th birthday my hair caught on fire while blowing out my candles, then I fell down the stairs

So growing up we were poor, lived on a trailer, and not white in the south. My tenth birthday was coming up, and I really wanted a party. A real one like you see on TV shows and whatnot. So I invite everyone in my grade.

The day comes and my dad and I go out and get pizza, and cake, balloons, the whole shabang.

No one showed up.

But my mom, thinking she could save it, invites her friends kids, one was seven, one was a kid who just was super annoying. My older sister invites her friends.

The seven year old totally took over the party, even blew out my candles. My sister and her friends just holed up in our room so I didn’t even have a place to get away from the annoying kid, so I spent the afternoon trying to look like I was having fun so my dad wasn’t sad.

Or when I was 13 my iguana died. Either one sucked.

I got pneumonia.

I paid for my parents birthday gift to me.

My 17th, my parents picked the day to tell my sister and I they were separating.
