And Now For Something Completely Different

There is no wisdom in teaching a young child not to blow out the table candles on the same day you teach him to blow out his birthday candles.    It is best to wait until both types of candles are not present on the table at the same time and have the child blow out his candles.  But be warned, older children apparently get confused in this circumstance as well  and desire to blow out the younger siblings candles and the table candles.   Many a birthday can be ruined by one over zealous sibling with really strong breath.  This is not to be confused with relatives visiting after consuming too much onion or garlic for as we all know this breath knocks out but does not blow out.  Nor is it to be confused with the very talkative visitor he is a wind bag but blows nothing out except others enthusiasm.
