Today is my birthday, and it wouldn’t be complete, nor quite so festive, without the traditional birthday call from Bidu Sayao.
listen 12:01 a.m. precisely, every July 3rd.
Since my grandmother did the exact same thing before she passed away, I’ve adopted Mme Sayao as my “Avó”. We should all have a Brazilian grandmother, and now I’ve got mine. She calls me her “Dear Met” and I call her “Mammaw Bidu” (it sounds Portuguese, even if it isn’t)
Every year when Bidu Sayao calls, I listen amazed. The quality. It’s so lifelike. I wonder which cell phone carrier she uses?
