What day is it? Tuesday! You're so done for. You missed your mom's surprise birthday dinner. The least you can do is apologize. You go to the den downstairs. Your mom has a lamp illuminating her exhausted face. She is surprised to see you.
She says to you "did you sleep well"
You say the first thing that came to mind "huh, yeah. Um, I needed to say something"
She looks worried. Now not only have you disappointed her, but you have also scared her. Good work. You think she asked you to have a seat, but you are unsure.
Tell her what's on your mind already "I'm so sorry for missing the party"
She looks utterly confused when she says "what party?"
Now not only does she seem lost, but you do as well.
Tell her "Isn't it your birthday? I slept through the whole day unexpectedly."
She begins to giggle and then says "my birthday is tomorrow, sweetie. But, thank you for the apology."
Quick, say something! "Um, I have to go to bed!"
Your mom tries her best to stop giggling as she tells you "goodnight"
