Happy birthday, Judith Viorst! Your stories have certainly given us all comfort—especially those days when we're convinced we've had an Alexander-level “terrible, horrible” moment. Thanks to you, countless readers know they're not alone on the worst mornings (like accidentally chewing gum stuck in your hair or finding out someone bought lima beans for dinner!)Yet beyond bad-day wisdom you've inspired generations with wit and insight—in both children’s literature and adult essays alike. You're officially proof that humor ages far better than yesterday's leftover lima beans.
Wishing you a hilarious—and entirely good—not-so-bad birthday filled only with wonderful moments ahead!
