Birthday

Naomi’s birthday party was yesterday.  She enjoyed it immensely.  This morning, we all wished her a happy birthday and congratulated her on being 4.  She was not pleased when Michael went to work… on her BIRTHDAY?!?

The funniest part, though, was when, around 10 a.m., she said, “When are the guests going to arrive?” 

Me:  What guests?

N:  For my birthday.

Me:  ?  We had your party yesterday, Mimi, we’ll have some fun today, but we aren’t having guests.

N:  NO GUESTS?  ON MY BIRTHDAY?

Me:  [Completely unprepared for this, grasping at straws]  No, but we’ll go to the park, and have cupcakes after dinner.  Dada will be home.  There are some presents --

N:  Oh, can I have my presents NOW?

Me:  [Relieved] Sure!
