“Ring! Ring!” my alarm rings. I wake up. Today is my birthday! I go to the kitchen to see a stack of pancakes on my plate. I take some maple syrup and whipped cream and put it on the pancakes.
Mom and Dad appear out of nowhere and tell me, “Happy Birthday!” They sing to me:
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Kruuuuuuuuutiiiiiiiiiiii
Happy Birthday to you!
Their voices crack when they say my name. We eat breakfast together, and I go get ready. No school today since it’s summer! I wear a shiny dress, but it’s not TOO fancy. A simple one.
I pull Mom and Dad into the piano room (or their bedroom) and play “Happy Birthday” in A flat major. My parents clap their hands, cheering me on. I bow once I finish playing the song. “Beautiful!” Mom says. “Good job!” Dad compliments. “Thank you,” I say.
Mom tells me I can play Roblox and Among Us all day and vibe with music! “Yayyyyyy!!!” I yell. I run into my room and start playing Roblox and Among Us on my computer. I also listen to my favorite songs on my Google Nest Mini. Mom tells me to eat my ice cream.
I grab my ice cream bowl from her. She asks, “Are you having a good time?” “Yes!” I exclaim. “Anyways, it’s time to cut the cake!” Mom brings out a strawberry cake. Mmm!
Mom takes a picture while I cut the cake. Dad watches me do it. I get three plates, place one piece of cake on each, and hand two to my parents while I eat mine. I taste the bright strawberry flavor as it rushes through me. #Bestcake!! I then try my ice cream, and it tastes DELECTABLE!!!
I give Mom a hug after washing my hands and brushing my teeth and go back to my room to listen to more music. I ask my parents if I can go to the movies with my friends.
“Sure! You can!” Mom and Dad say, and I immediately dial my friends. I ask them to come over for a while and then go to the movies. The doorbell rings. “Ring! Ring! Ring!!!” It sounds almost like a subtle-sounding bell.
“Hii!!” I greet my friends and welcome them inside for some ice cream. They’re each handed small bowls of ice cream. Once we finish eating our ice cream, we go outside to travel to the movies. As we walk, we see many stars in the sky. I see a shooting star. Although, if you are a science nerd, it wouldn’t be a shooting star, but a meteor.
We go to the cinema, pay for our food and tickets, and sit in our seats. After the movie, we discuss the plot of the show and the twists. I say good-bye to my friends and walk back home. I have dinner at home and get ready for bed. I really enjoyed my birthday. I wish this birthday was every single day! I mean, who wouldn’t enjoy this birthday?!
