Debido a mi reciente celebración de mis 35 años, uno de mis amigos tuvo la excelente idea de mandarme casi 150 citas sobre cumpleaños. Claro que en un inicio su pplan era reíse de mis bien vividas primeras 35 primaveras, sin embargo creo que se aburrió y terminó dando un copy/paste a todo el artículo. Algunas estaban muy malas, sin embargo, otras más estaban excelentes y sirven incluso de frases para tarjetas y demás clase de regalos. A continuación transcribo algunas.
