Three going on 33

Here comes the Birthday Girl

For the life of me now I can't quite remember why it was that we had the Birthday picnic on the day before Saffron's real birthday. Anyone remembers?

These days Saffron's standard reply to any question on her age is a straight-faced, matter-of-factly "33". It never fails to take people by surprise. Of course she's perfectly aware that she is in fact not really 33 years old, but what's endearing is that she actually believes she makes a convincing 33 year old. It doesn't occur to her that the coewoe she's clutching and licking addictively as she announces her 'age' is a bit of a give away...
