Crystal's Birthday Has Come

It's a recurring event in our lovely household, every time it's someone's birthday Crystal gets a bit angry and with a hilarious comment says, " I am the queen, let me shine! " Her mom, Anna, holds up a glass of wine and shakes her head, " Let's gather to celebrate a wonderful occasion tonight, it's Corina's turn, not yours; hug your sister and participate! " Crystal still looks upset and won't share the glamorous glory, and as Corina anxiously blows out the candles so joyfully, Crystal's tears roll wistfully as they all sing, " Happy Birthday, Corina " yet, Crystal remains silent. A birthday comes once a year and kids get excited and scream, what makes them happy is each other's company; do expensive gifts really matter when all they want is icecream on their cake made with chocolate, but do they count calorie intake? Crystal's birthday has come, she has turned sweet seventeen... what a beautiful teen! Today she got the attention she wanted, her wish is finally granted... nothing else pleased her more than fame!
