Born on the 18th day of October, 2010, Little Bee will be one year old very soon. He will, as usual, go with his mommy to visit her parents (i.e. Little Bee's wai-gong and wai-po) on Sunday evening or Monday morning, so we would like to celebrate his birthday ahead of time, during this weekend.
Now his mommy and daddy had brought home a birthday cake -- so small but so cute, all of us including my wife (Little Bee's a-ma) were ready for the celebration. We put the cake on the tea table, we lit the number-one candle and made it stand on top of the cake, and we started to sing Happy Birthday to You to our birthday boy, in a happy voice!
Ah! What an amusing scene! The cake is, as previously planned, prepared for our little boy, but in reality he is too small to eat anything sweet or salty! Will he not feel very confused about our sharing this delicate cake but he is not allowed to have any of it? When we happily sing the Happy Birthday song to him, he is just so much scared of the candlelight -- the flickering bright flame at the top of the candle, which he has seen for the very first time in his life! . . . .
To our surprise, he burst out crying, and only when I held him in my arms and his daddy made faces to tease him, could he smile his tears away!
