Welcome to the OK Let's Learn podcast. This is a family-friendly podcast where we dive into books, stories, people, history, science, and tons of different topics. My name is Kevin O'Keefe, so today, okay, let's learn about birthdays, the history of birthdays, everything about birthdays. Oh my goodness, are you kidding
me. How are we going to learn about birthdays? Everyone knows about birthdays, but do you really? Hey, I want to tell you upfront, this episode is dedicated to the best, kindest, most wonderful neighbor you could ever have. Susan, happy birthday. Susan listens to our podcast all the time and she said,
