Sam , I am so sorry . It was your birthday yesterday and I completely forgot about it .   Don't worry about it . I keep forgetting everyone's birthdays as well .   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 .   Yes , Jane invited me for dinner to this new restaurant which opened near us .   Oh , yes , I know the one . How was the food ?   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 .   Oh , no .
