    #IKnewIWasOld when my family started buying number-candles to represent my age on a Cake rather than single candles themselves.

        #IKnewIWasOld when, instead of sneaking out of the house to go to a party, I'd sneak out of the party to go home.

        Just wait, eventually they'll go back to individual candles because they think the huge candle fire is hilarious

        When my mom turned 50, we put all the candles on the cake. Wasn't sure who'd kill me first, mom or smoke inhalation.

        Our tradition is binary age after age 10. Six candles, lit or not lit to show 1/0.
