Balloons

A boy saw his friends flying  the balloons and went to his father crying in saying , " Daddy ! It is my birthday too, Buy me some balloons " It is summer time  my son, You were born in Winter time, Your birthday will be in July 2023. He continued to cry , saying" buy me the balloons daddy,  it  is my birthday, let me enjoy flying the balloons with my friends."  His father spoke quietly  "I can't  find those balloons in this township, It is so late , Shops are closed in town my son." The boy was so frustrated , he could not eat supper, crying the whole night , Mum and dad were so confused. Some neighbours heard him crying loudly. His father tried to comfort him, saying " early  morning , I will bring more balloons to you." Her mum carried him to sleep. Coming morning , the boy screamed , screaming loudly  " my birthday gone  wrong, so badly as tears turned to my birthday cake. Life is not fair, Don't bring those balloons to me again. " Mum and dad laughed in their bedroom , they were happy to see their boy coming to his senses, It was not his birthday. His mother woke up to make breakfast for him, He said , " I love you my parents , sorry to give you sleepless night. I know  my rights in this house, mom." His mammy smiled as he knew  his naughty boy well. She made his favourite breakfast , He said loudly, " your breakfast replaces my birthday cake and the balloons. I am so proud to have you dearly , Very proud mum, Your charm neutralizing my anger, So happy now. I will never frustrate you in my entire life dearly." The charm of the boy cuptured her mamma , she started smiling,  smiling looking at his face while eating his favourite breakfast. When his dad woke up , he ran to hug him and said, " Sorry dad, it won't happen again" His dad and mum welcomed his appology and continue to smile.
