We remember birthdays that were special or different. Here are seven stories about birthdays to remember - a birthday on the same day as an historic event over 40 years ago, a wonderful meal in a foreign city, a birthday celebration during a very tough year, a birthday that changed someone's life, a very funny misunderstanding, a picnic in a snowstorm and a meal that changed a bad day into a good day.

Three of the stories are fiction, but four of them are based on true events. Can you guess which ones are true? Take a guess and then go to www.italk-youtalk.com to find out if you are right!
