not forgotten

middle was anxious to get to church tonight.

mr. bruce always has a klondike bar for a birthday treat.

last year he didn't get one.

if mr. bruce had realized he had forgotten...

he probably would have given him two.

middle was all about the treat...

not so much about the birthday serenade.

he recovered quickly to blow out his trick candle again and again and demolish the much anticipated delicacy.
