A:Sam, I am so sorry. It was your birthday yesterday and I completely forgot about it.
B:Don't worry about it. I keep forgetting everyone's birthdays as well.
A:Margaret really told me off when she found out that I had forgotten all about it. We did try to phone you, but you and Jane must have gone out.
B:Yes, Jane invited me for dinner to this new restaurant which opened near us.
A:Oh, yes, I know the one. How was the food?
B:The food was excellent, but Jane ordered a birthday cake, which they forgot about. So as you can see, you were not the only one.
A:Oh, no.
B:Yes, Jane was quite upset about it. The manager came to apologize and we did get free dessert, but still...
A:I would think this was the least they could do.
B:In the end it was a nice evening and I got an ipad as my birthday present which I wanted for a while.
A:Great. I have also been thinking of getting one. Do you think you could ask Jane to have a quiet word with Margaret? My birthday is not that far away.
B:I can try, but knowing Margaret she will see through that immediately.
