Husband of 23 years forgets 52-year-old wife's birthday, she amuses herself by seeing how long it'll last: "Now I can get him to deep clean the fridge"

Welcome back people of the internet. If there's one thing that people love to make a fuss over, it's birthdays. Seriously, how are people still forgetting birthdays? Do these couples, spouses, or family members never communicate? I would think that the birthday would come up naturally at some point before the actual day. Why is there this weird sullen taboo around mentioning it? Don't the people involved have to plan what they're doing that day? Whatever reason people have for not bringing it up before the day is beyond me. 

Some of the best birthdays are the simplest. Just a simple dinner out with friends, family, or your spouse. Sometimes that's all that someone needs to be fulfilled, to be happy, and to feel like they're loved. In the story below, the protagonist is a simple woman. It's her birthday, but her husband and her son have forgotten. Instead of being upset, she treats it as a silly game. She sees the bright side of things, and doesn't sweat the small stuff.
