Impromptu Birthday Party

The call came earlier than expected, but it was perfect timing as we had just finished lunch. A student of mine had called to say that she was coming to our house to give me a gift for my birthday (which is in two days). What was the gift? A very delicious cake.

And so, we were able to have a short and unscheduled birthday celebration. We had a candle (apparently she didn’t know how old I was as the candle was a question mark!) and my wife and son sang “Happy Birthday” to me. My son and I blew out the candle and then he helped me cut the cake.

The cake was very good. My son really enjoyed it, but then again he enjoys all cake that isn’t chocolate! Thank you, Meco! Thank you for the gift and thank you for remembering.
