Dear Piper,

I missed an old friend's b-day and I feel terrible. What should i do? She is shy and kind so she didn't address it. But i still feel horrible.

Dear Jess Stu,

You say she's an old friend, so, I'm going to assume she's not going to let a think like belated birthday wishes affect your friendship. Just bake her a cake or pick up some balloons aloong with a nice gift. Then apologize profusely for your faux pas. Just remember to be kind when she returns the favor when your special day rolls around.
