birthday girl
Today's special child
A birthday girl is a female whose birthday is being celebrated, typically on the day itself.
The term applies across ages but carries a festive, affectionate tone that emphasizes the person being honored.
The birthday girl gets to pick the restaurant.
Though most common for children and young women, it extends playfully to adults: At seventy-five, Grandma was still the birthday girl.
