"Yeah, it's a truck load of ice cream.
What's the worst that could happen?" A truck driver asks.

"Yeah, cake's all loaded up, we'll be there. What's the worst that could happen?" Another driver asks their peer.

"Yeah. We're loading the dynamite onto the plane now. What's the worst that could happen?" The helicopter driver asks.

I was walking into school, when I sit Milo getting a drink.

More of, spotting him getting soaking wet.

"No problem. I've got a dry change of clothes in my locker." Milo turns away to his locker, and to change.

"See you in a bit." He calls.

"So, tomorrow is Milo's birthday." Melissa tells Zack.

"Is he having a party?" Zack questions.

"Probably not." I cut into their conversation.

"The last time he did, it did not end well."

I flashback to that horrid day when the horse neighs loudly, and a fireman yells, "Hold it there! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

I snap out of it, and I notice Melissa is continuing my story.

"After that, they only invited immediate family, Tia, and me."

"Well, that's sad. Doesn't he miss having a big birthday party?" Zack asks us.

"To be completely honest, Milo could care less about a party." I tell Milo.

Melissa's cell phone rings she answers.

"Hi, Mrs.
Murphy."

"Hi, honey. Do you think we should invite Zack tomorrow? And if so, does he have proper coverage?"

"He's right here." Melissa hands the phone to Zack.

"Hi Milo's mom." Zack greets politely.

"I overheard, and I'm fully insured. Um, just a thought, but is it okay if we invite some kids from school? It could be a surprise." Zack explains.

I grin. I'd love a party like that for Milo.

"Hmm. Let's check with Martin. He's still at work." Brigette opens another chat, while connecting with us.

Martin answers. He is in a hard hat.

"Hi, dear." He greets.

"Melissa and Zack were thinking of a surprise party for Milo tomorrow.
How is our liability coverage?"

Martin comes up with one of the best ideas I've ever heard, "Oh, better idea. Not at our home. We could do it at the Play Park."

"Yeah, the go-kart track! It'll be perfect." Zack gasps.

"They already have all the party supplies. Fire extinguishers, helmets, first-aid kits Plus, they're fully insured.
So, we can invite people?" Martin asks and states at the same time.

"Sure." Brigette shrugs.

I smile wide, "Thanks Brjgette! This will be the party of the century!"

Bridgette is startled for a little, then chuckles, "Oh! I didn't know you were there Tia. If anything largely goes wrong, you can help."

"Of course, anytime." I confirm.

"Great! Surprise party." Martin cheers.
