Baby’s Birthday
(Snippet of a dream)
It was Baby’s birthday. She was
one year old.
The house was decorated with
balloons and banners and streamers. A huge cake sat on the table, one pink candle
in the center waiting to be lit.
Family and friends gathered
around, and Baby sat in a frilly dress and princess crown, gasping with
happiness and watching the tiny flame, mesmerized.
The singing was sung and the
candle blown out by a hyperventilating Baby.
In the next room, presents were
tied around the “necks” of venomous snakes and the snakes set loose.
Baby giggled and crawled after
the snakes.
Everyone smiled.
