So it was my 20th birthday on November 26th and I can still remember my sweet 16. It was quite possibly my most memorable birthday ever. At the time my best friend was Marguerite, and when we were together we would make each other laugh all the time! Also at that time, I was dating this guy named Jonathan. I invited both of them over to celebrate my 16th birthday with my family. Every time we have a family dinner, my grandma would make this delicious, multi-layered, fruit Jell-O. Not many people know that when I mix Jell-O, my best friend, my boy friend and excitement; I get really, really hyper! So the reason why it was the most memorable birthday ever was because when the Jell-O came out I became so fascinated with how it juggled. Weird, I know, but when I get hyper, small things amuse me. As I was jiggling the Jell-O my grandma got up, grabbed the Jell-O and put it in the kitchen. Everyone went silent. There were no more giggles, and the negative vibe in the room could have been cut with a dull knife. Even as writing this I feel that awkward feeling all over again. Anyway, Marguerite, Jon and I got up to serve the Jell-O and of course I felt horrible. But Jon said something that made me feel so much better. That something was, "Don’t worry; it still jiggles."
