Birthday!

By: Omshreya, Massachusetts

                 I crawled out of my bed jumping with excitement.  Tiptoeing downstairs to my parent’s room I saw no decorations, presents, or cards. “Maybe they still have to decorate for my birthday” I told myself. Quietly entering my parent’s room through their pale blue door I jumped on their bed yelling, “It’s my birthday! It’s my birthday!” It’s my birthday!”. My parents stared at each other in shock. “You remembered my birthday, right?” I asked.

“Of course!” they both said at once. But I stared into their faces and saw they forgot.

“How about we go shopping for your birthday.” my mom said.

“Okay,” I replied.

We went out shopping for balloons, ingredients for a cake, and more. When we came back i peered through the windows while my mom searched for the keys. “Why are all the lights off?” I asked.

“Maybe your dad went somewhere.” My mom suggested. As we walked in the lights turned and there were shouts of, “Surprise!”.

“What?” I shouted.

“We were planning to surprise you for your birthday the whole week!” my dad said. The rest of the day I watched movies, played games with my family and friends, and ate some cake. “This was a great birthday” I thought to myself the whole time.
