It was 1 her 47th birthday. "I'm 50 years old," she said 3. Her husband 4 said no, she wasn't. She was only 47. She was still a young pup. "I'm not a young pup, and I'm not a spring chicken," she said. "Okay," he said, "but you're also not 50." She said 47 might 5 as 2 well be 50—what was the difference 6? "People look at me and they think I'm 50. Nobody 7 says, 'Oh, you don't look a day over 47.'" He told her that time goes by fast enough. She didn't need to make it go faster. She still had 8 three years of her 40s to enjoy. He gave 9 her a birthday card. She opened it. The card read, "Happy 50th Birthday!" "What's this?" she asked. "I thought 10 you said that I was only 47!" He said, "I looked all over for a Happy 47th Birthday card—they don't make them!"
