My question is:
Have you ever had a surprised birthday party?
My Answer:
Yes. I used to work and go to school at night and on Saturdays. One Saturday my friend from my Spanish class in school asked if I wanted to come study in the park. I said sure. It's better than going home. I dreaded going home.
When we met up, I noticed she had a cake, but there were some kids in her vehicle so I figured it was for one of the kids.
We got to the park and her friends and the kids gather around, so we start singing happy birthday and I'm looking around wondering which kid it's supposed to be, then I realize everyone is looking at me.
I cried.
I had never had a birthday party or surprise before.
See the study bags and books on the bench?
It's a day in memory always.

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet Birthday memory :)! No I haven't but I had a great sixteen birthday so it felt like one.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteI had a surprise party once. I was turning 18, and my school singing group was performing at a Christmas party that night. Afterwards my friends & I were supposed to go to a movie to celebrate my birthday, and they all just starting bailing out on me, saying they were tired and all other excuses. When my best friend and I arrived back at my house everyone was there to surprise me!
happy birthday girl!!!
ReplyDeletenope, never had a surprise!

August 5th! I will try and remember that for sure. My brother's is August 2nd, so it should be easy!:-) Love the pictures! What a nice memory!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww, I love it. :)
ReplyDeleteI was surprised when my best friend and hubby threw my first b-day party for me just before I hit 30. I am so glad you had such a nice surprise. It couldn't happen to a nicer person.
