Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Tony, happy birthday to you! My family sang. My name is Antonio and yes today is my birthday; I'm turning 13. So far I'm having a great time with my family and best friend.

"Here you go sweety" Aunt Sofia said handing to me a bag with a spiderman image on it.

"Oh... Um.. thanks!", I said confused.

I put it on the table were the cake and presents were.

"Ok everybody, it's time to open the gifts!", mom announced.

" QUE LOS ABRA, QUE LOS ABRA!!", everyone sang as I opened a present.

It took me at least 20 minutes to finish opening all the gifts. Well, I guess not all of them.

"Hey dude you forgot that box right there!", my friend Juan said pointing at a box in the very corner of the table. It was a huge wooden box. I expected to see an instrument or something but once I opened it I realized it was a ventriloquist dummy.

"Ok? Um... well thank you to whoever got me this", I said waiting for someone to stand up and say your welcome or something, but to my surprise no one did. I didn't put much attention to it. I just put the box in my room and continued with the party till it was over.

"Bye baby, happy birthday!", said my grandma hugging me tight and giving me one of her 'head kisses'. Juan was staying at my place because it was videogame marathon night so as soon as everybody left we'll run upstairs to my room and play Halo all night till we dropped.

Finally, all the raza left and we runned like if zombies were chasing us. We headed to my room, I opened the door, and I couldn't believe what I saw.
