Mia's birthday

" JAY! JAY WALKER! WAKE UP!" Theee year old Mia yelled into his ear.

Jay jolted up, and looked at his innocent little sister.

" Yes? Why must you wake me up this early in the morning?" He asked, slightly grumpy.

Mia giggled. " Guess that day it is!"

" Is it... Sleeping in day?" Jay nestled under the covers.

" No!" Mia laughed.

" Is it Be Quiet day?"

Mia grumbled. " You're no fun."

Jay sighed. " Fine. What day is it?"

But Mia was gone. She went to complain to her dad.

" Daddy!" She called, stepping into the kitchen.

" Hello, princess. How are you?" He asked, stepping away from the stove and hugging her.

" Guess what day it is!"

Her dad pretend to think. " Hmmm, it's some really important day."

" Yes?" Mia said.

" And.... It's one day a year." He continued.

Mia nodded eagerly.

" Is it.... Your birthday?" He asked, presenting her a stack of strawberry pancakes, with a side of chocolate ice cream.

" Daddy, you're the best!" She cried, hugging him tightly.

" Anything for you. Now dig in! Your pancakes will get cold, and the ice cream will melt."

Mia nodded eagerly, and stuffed her mouth with the delicious food.

" Sis is da beth, gatty!" She said through a mouthful of pancakes.

Her dad smiled.

Then Jay came down the stairs, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He saw Mia at the kitchen table, happily munching on her pancakes.

"Did you figure it out yet?" Mia asked, her eyes twinkling with anticipation.

Jay yawned. "Is it your birthday?" He said, half-jokingly.

Mia giggled. "Yes! It's my birthday!"

Jay started to respond, "It is no-" but then he saw the calendar on the wall, clearly marked with Mia's birthday. He stopped mid-sentence and smiled. "Never mind. Happy birthday to you, Mimi!"

Mia beamed, her face lighting up even more. "Thank you, Jay!"

Their dad smiled as he brought another plate of pancakes over for Jay. "Come join us, Jay. It's a special day."

Jay sat down, ruffling Mia's hair affectionately. "Alright, let's celebrate. What do you want to do today, birthday girl?"

Mia thought for a moment, then grinned. "Can we go to the park? And have ice cream? And play games?"

Jay nodded. "Anything you want, Mia. Today is all about you."

" Yippie! Let's go now!" Mia got up and ran to the door.

" Uh, Mia? Clothes?" Jay said, pointing to her nightsuit.

" Oopsie." Mia giggled. " I'll go change."

Mia sprinted up the stairs and changed into a purple gown with white rhinestones. She put on white socks and black heels that looked like Mary Janes.

When she came down, Jay was holding a paper. " This is for you."

" Wow, thank you!" Mia gushed, accepting the paper. ( Her parents had taught her to like any gift she was given. If it was something she already had, her parents would give her something the same amount and gift it to someone else).
