Birthday Surprise.. Sort Of

Today is a very special day for us. Today is the first birthday in our marriage life. My wife’s birthday.
So I planned to surprise her. But of course you might have known when a guy, or me, prepare a surprise, it would only materialize in the form of either:
- Beer and chips, or
- Another Chernobyl disaster
Well, ok, it was not that bad actually. But it was a disaster indeed.

Ok, my plan was to surprise her in the morning with a big cake that I bought yesterday, complete with small candles etc. I planned to wake up earlier, sneaked to the kitchen and brought the cake to the bedroom and woke her.
But then she woke up at midnight, and I needed to say happy birthday to her. Then I rushed to the fridge to get the cake, with my eyes half-closed and my mind in screensaver mode.
And when I opened the box, she suddenly appeared from the bedroom. “Cakeee!” she said, surprising me.

Of course she was happy with the cake, especially when I told her to be ready to blow up the candles. But then of course I was not that lucky. I couldn’t find a lighter. I don’t think we have one in my place. So the candles just sat there without any flame. On second thought, maybe it was better to surprise her in the morning, at least I could try to light the candles using magnifying glass facing the sun. Yes, we have magnifying glass in our house but no lighter. Don’t ask me how.
So no surprise, no blowing the candle. But we did eat a small piece of cake, a nice one.
Happy Birthday My Love!!!
