A: "Happy belated birthday!" B: "Oh! It's not belated. Today is my birthday."
A: "Huh? Weren't you born, like, decades ago?" B: "Well, yeah. 31 years ago from today."
A: "That's what I'm saying! Happy belated birthday. Sorry for waiting 31 years, but I didn't know you back then and I keep forgetting to mention it."
