All around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel the monkey thought it was all in good fun **_POP_** goes the weasel. After the guests had left and it was only your family left at the party, your mother presents you with one last gift before bed. (Go to 1 if you’d like to open it now, and 2 for in the morning)
1) You smile as she kisses your forehead. “We saved the best for last”

It was a warm summer evening when Emily's twelfth birthday party began. Her parents had gone all out this year, transforming their backyard into a festive wonderland. Balloons and streamers adorned the trees, and a long table covered in a bright tablecloth was laden with snacks and a massive cake. The scent of barbecue mingled with the sweet aroma of freshly cut grass.
Emily's friends arrived, br...
“You look more mature now, when I saw you last you were a teenager! Not anymore.”
My cleaning lady doesn’t know how I mourn for my youth, she didn’t mean to.
“She’s turning 19 in two months”
My dad tells her, as if 18 had passed already. He doesn’t know how that is try to hold back my laugh now so I don’t progress my smile lines.
“How old are you now? 20? 23?”
The people I meet also take my teen y...
Candles.
There are supposed to be eighteen of them on this cake. Instead that number stays at ten.
Gemma stares at the dancing flames. Every year, the Lockmans hold a memorial on Cynthia”s, “Cyn,” birthday. Everyone close to the ten-year-old gets invited, so dutifully family, friends, and others associated to the Lockmans show up that to see the flowing tears and mournful words and birthday ca...
On the outskirts of town, nestled between overgrown hedgerows and the forgotten whispers of the woods, stood the old Hargrove mansion. Abandoned for decades, its walls echoed with secrets, and its floors held the dust of ages. It was the perfect venue for Alex’s 12th birthday party, themed “Mysteries of the Abandoned Mansion.” Alex's parents, eager to indulge their child's fascination with ghost s...
One. Two. Three.
Make a wish.
Cheers echo in the air, getting further and further away. They slow and distort- I don't dare open my eyes. A subtle chill travels down my spine as if a ghost is stroking me. Twitches from muscles tell me I'm losing control; someone is taking over and there's no point fighting it. In a, perhaps unnecessarily dramatic way, I am flung out of my mind. I travel through a...

(my birthdays on February 11th so this is perfect!!)
I don't like many people from my old school.
The people I do like I didn't invite.
I thought this party would be to scary for them.
But I think the narrcasistic, uncaring, and rude girls I'm inviting won't mind.
They don't care about others and they gossip.
They complain…
By the time the parts over…. No one will be able to hear their com...
I’d always hated clowns since I was a kid and I first saw IT. Why my son had to be obsessed with clowns I do not know. For his seventh birthday he wanted a clown at his party. My wife eagerly ordered one off a website on google, I had a strange feeling about it but regardless that was what he wanted.
On 03/04/12 at around 10am the decorations were set and the cake was made. With an extra two hou...
I blew out the candles with a ferocious whoosh - wishing for peace and prosperity for everyone I knew. It was the same wish I’d think of every birthday since I was young. My 26th birthday would be no different. Everyone around me clapped and cheered, and dad began to cut the cake for us. I worried that the neighbors might complain about the noise but figured it was just one time a year and might b...
