‘Are you gonna have fun on your little bouncy castle?’: Adults debate whether or not taking your birthday off work is an ‘ick’
Birthdays are the one day a year when you should be allowed to do whatever you want. I’m not talking about Purge-style crimes against society, but I mean getting to spend the day however you want to. We don’t get to do that any other time of the year, so we should take advantage of it …
