Facebook birthdays

My son Tommy came down to ask me something yesterday while I was checking my Facebook account. Because it was my birthday, I had something like 200 birthday wishes on my page. I showed it to Tommy and said...

"Look, all these people are wishing me happy birthday."

He replied, "How many are there?"

I had no idea, so we counted them together. At the time it was something like 150.

"Not bad, huh?" I said.

"But don't you have something like 1200 Facebook friends?" he asked.

"Yeah."

"That means that more than a thousand didn't wish you happy birthday."

He doesn't look very much like me, but there is no doubt about it. That's my son.
