at the right time

we were set to bring someone to this restaurant then my mom suddenly suggests maybe we should just go somewhere else and save said restaurant for next month so the birthday celebrator's daughter could join.

me:  'mom, next month it's going to be <the daughter>'s birthday already, not anymore <the mom>'s.  just go someplace else next month but for now let's go to this restaurant so <the mom> would feel that the celebration is really for her.'

my mom agreed...  : )

well, she received a text message from the celebrator afterward thanking us for making her birthday "unforgettable and enjoyable."

see!

timing is important.  some things become more special because of the time element.  you do something too early or too late and you risk turning it to something ordinary.

do something for someone when it should be done, not when it's convenient.
