HAPPY BIRTHDAY, My Great-Grandma

Irene Baker is my great-grandmother. Today is her 100th birthday. We are preparing a party for her. I’m filming a video on this special day. My mom is putting strawberries on a cake. Wait! My great-grandmother does not like strawberries. That’s strange. My dad is holding pink roses. But her favorite color is yellow, not pink. Something is not right.

Dad says, “Jimmy, there is a special guest today.” Who is the special guest?

Now, the party is ready. My great-grandma joins us. Dad says, “Everyone, there is a surprise guest!”

The door opens slowly. A woman is standing there. She is my great-grandmother’s twin sister, Margaret! She is wearing a pink sweater. Now, everything makes sense.

“Margaret!”

“Happy birthday, Irene!”

My mom and dad are lighting candles. One hundred candles on the cake! My great-grandmas say, “There are too many candles. Help us!” So we all blow out the candles. Hoo!
