Today when Larry arrived at my office the following conversation ensued (This is abbreviated):
Kim: Where do you want me to take you for lunch?
Larry: You don't need to take me anywhere
Kim: It's your birthday! We are going somewhere nice.
Larry: I don't have any time. How about we bring in Mediterranean (Note: This is a take out place we eat at all the time)
Kim: No, somewhere special
Larry: I really don't care it's just another day
Kim: No, it's not, it's your birthday
Larry: So
Kim: How about Cheesecake Factory?
Larry: Too far
Kim: How about Smitty's? It's close and nice.
Larry: Yeah, we went there once. OK, thats fine.
Later......while sitting at Smitty's.
Larry: I think I will get the Cobb salad, thats what I got last time
Kim: I got the trout, that was right after I found out I was pregnant.
Kim: Hey! That was for your birthday last year!
Larry: Oh yeah, maybe it was
Kim: The exact conversation we had this morning we had then! "I don't care about my birthday...blah blah". I suggested Smitty's because it was the only nice and close place.
Larry: I bet you are right
Kim: Remember, once something happens more than once it's a tradition! Next year, same time, same place!

RO! Tradition or habit? :) I vote you have the same exact conversation next year. You can even use this post as your script!
A scripted birthday lunch...you're not that OCD, are you??
Happy birthday to Larry. I hope the Cobb Salad was awesome.
It sounds a little like Groundhog's Day!
Sounds like a good tradition. Gotta celebrate the day!
Larry got a lunch, with Kim, two years in a row. Happy Traditional Birthday Larry!
Love the scripted situation. Too funny! Maybe we should all meet there next year for his bday and surprise him?!
You never take me out for my birthday! 8-(
