Omigod, I would love to attend an Obon Festival!

You're insisting a bit too much for it to be believable or even true

Birthday celebrations for regular people are not culturally or nationally significant, therefore I will not grant an exemption for them.  

Forget it Cutie!  In Thailand birthdays are culturally significant!  You can lose friends if you don't celebrate with them.  Thai birthday parties are always a big event in which the birthday person pays for a lavish birthday including food, drinks and entertainment for their friends and family.  The smallest party I have ever seen here is 20 people and the biggest 80.  I'm not going to be the friend that doesn't show up!  

Birthday presents for the adults are often in bottles of booze or money added to a money ribbon around the neck.  This is a picture of the birthday party I attending for two friends, Naw and Top, last week.  At the peak there were 60 people there.

I do believe that Spike's suggestion was just limited to the state of New Mexico.

My first Obon Festival in Portland had a Taiko Drum team of 25 from Seattle.  It was unbelievable!

I have come to a magnanimous decision: you will still not receive an exemption, but I will delay your curfew by 2 hours. So for birthdays on weekdays your curfew will be at 1:30 a.m. and on weekends it will be at 3:30 a.m. 

My decision is final.

Maybe you should be the one looking to go to bed at a reasonable hour

OK I can deal with that.

Spoiler

That covers about 70% of the time.  I'll deal with the rest later.

I love Young Royals. 

I think there's also a Netflix show about two guys who are rival video gamers.

And? That's what? An explanation? A justification? An excuse?

It was a little hard to get into because it’s basically two guys trying to establish a meaningful experience over FaceTime.

An explanation, obviously.
