Short Wednesday Surprise (late)

Yesterday I got home from work, and my sister asked if I wanted to eat at an Italian restaurant which we both like, so we went.

As we went inside, she asked, "Isn't this the day our aunt likes to come here?"

I told her "I have no idea." I looked back outside, and saw my aunt, uncle, and cousin drive by... In a moment they came in. How nice we came on the same day for once!

So we ate dinner together. I was going to get some dessert, and my aunt murmurs, "Don't bother, come over to my place - I have some cannoli." My sister chimes in, "well, we can come, but I can't stay long."

Then I started to suspect something.

And when we got to my aunt's, my cousin opened the door, but his parents weren't there...

In a just a few moments, they came into the room with a cake stuck with lighted candles! Two of the candles were digit-shaped, but for security purposes I omit further details. While it was not quite as surprising as they intended, it was a happy time!

No, yesterday was not my birthday. That day, however, is coming soon.

But I told my aunt I would write this little story and put it here for the e-cosmos to read...
