Oh, yes, in this situation, boy, it is irritating to have someone try and convince you different something you know. To have someone tell you that you don't even know your birthday?

The 'eggshells' part was in reference to teaching the kids that everyone makes mistakes. And not to be afraid/nervous if they do something wrong. No one will get angry or think they are stupid. {again, maybe this is a job that moms just have?}. You know, have you ever seen a kid spill a drink and then freeze up with that 'Oh crap!' look? None of that.

Forget a birthday, be reminded, laugh it off, say you are sorry sweetie and
then carry on, maybe a little scorched but that it is all okay.
