Zesentwintig Weer

"The cuteness that is Guyke"™
In Flanders, the northern part of Belgium, they have an age-old tradition among the Flemish people which reminds me very much of SecondLife. 

The people of Flanders speak a Belgian variety of Dutch called "tussentaal". In the local culture and language no one is ever recognized as being older than twenty-six, any age after that is referred to as "zesentwintig weer" (twenty-six again).

Today we celebrate the twenty-sixth again birthday in first life of The cuteness that is Guyke™, the wonderful, charming and loving man that brought so much happiness to Ars and my life. (Well - to be quite honest - some grey hairs and teeth grinding also but lets not delve in that on this festive day)

Gefeliciteerd met je zesentwintigste weer verjaardag, mijn liefste Guykechen!
Have a wonderful birthday, love you loads and bunches!

(...and of course there really is no such tradition, I just made it up!)
