# My birthday is on Christmas. Trees are decorated for Christmas. My mom's birthday is on New Year's Eve. Trees are not decorated for New Year's Eve. A few days into being the age of five, I thought that trees were decorated for *birthdays.* So, when my mom's birthday came and we had already taken down our Christmas tree, I decided to decorate her house plant, which was somewhat tree-like. This is an example of me not understanding social norms--albeit, a cute example.
