My husband just turned 25 last week. His mom told him he was "a quarter way to dead". I told Justin to take it as a compliment because that means his mom expects him to live to 100.
My husbands friend turns 30 on Saturday. His wife is throwing him a little party with some of his closest friends. I don't think he cares too much that he's turning 30.
When my mother-in-law turned 40 she had a party thrown for her. Someone gave her a key chain that read "here's my keys, now where's the car?" When she first looked at the key chain and read it aloud she read it as "here's my keys, now where's the cat?" With a puzzled look on her face she said "that's cute, but I don't get it". It was funny and very memorable (she still gets teased about it years later).
