For the last week or so, Amanda has been singing "Happy to you", kind of like she's singing Happy Birthday except she's leaving out an important word, birthday. Every time she did it I would sing the first line of Happy Birthday, trying to teach her to get it right. Then I stopped. Isn't it better to say "Happy to you" rather than "Happy Birthday to you"? You only have a birthday once a year, and like the Mad Hatter says, you have so many more un-birthdays than birthdays anyway.
"Happy to you" fits in so many more situations than "Happy Birthday to you" does. For example, on Thursday when she said it, she could have been saying "Happy Thanksgiving". The "to you" part just means she saying it to you and nobody else.
Who cares if she doesn't sing it right, her way is more of a half-full kind of way anyway.
