After this little midnight incident everyone

was wide awake. Even papa and Sonia had
woken up in all the commotion. No body felt

"Hey look it is 12:30. Tania it is
officially your birthday. Happy birthday
baby!"

Everyone else wished Tania too. Papa said
"Since we are all here and awake why don't

Tania looked pleadingly at mama and said
"Please mama, please. It will make this
birthday so exciting."

Mama smiled and said "Lets do it!". Mama
brought out the cake and lit 7 candles
around it. Tania was only 6 years old, but

there had to be one for good luck.
