Day 166
A question of birthdays
Pippin, escaping Pearl's clutches, wove amongst the guests, determined not to be deflected from his goal.
Reaching Uncle Bilbo, he tugged at his sleeve. The old Hobbit turned from talking to Rory Brandybuck and smiled down at his second cousin once removed.
"What is it, lad?"
Pippin frowned in concentration, making sure he got his question right. "Do birthdays get... less exciting as you have more of them?"
Bilbo chuckled. "Not at all, my boy. Why, as you grow older, you get more of the best part of any birthday – you have more nephews and nieces to share it with!"
