whilst helping bean get dressed

Bean is getting very big. And extra gorgeous. Also, O HAI SQUIRREL.

Honey, do you know what today is?

A school day?

No, honey. It’s Sunday. No school. But it’s Grandpa Tony’s birthday.

Oh. (pause) Is it my birthday too?

No, honey. Your birthday is in May. That’s very far away.

Oh. (pause) Is it going to wait for me?

Wait for you? What do you mean?

Is it going to wait for me to blow out all the fire and eat it all up?

Are you talking about your birthday cake?

Yes. On your birthday, you get a cake. I hope mine waits for me.

I love you. Are you hungry?

I want a cookie.

How about a banana?

Alright.
