Happy Thanksgiving 2025

As is family tradition, we celebrated my son's birthday also (it was last week) by putting candles on the pumpkin pie. He turned 36 but my mother had neither a 3 or a 6 candle but somehow had four 9's.
My wife, being an accountant, quickly calculated that four 9's = 36.

I was wondering about the 9s when I saw it on Facebook. Figured it was an inside joke of some kind.

No, just my family being adaptable and thinking on our feet.
