The Birthday Party

Happy birthday the morning started with a bang four people breakfasted together on his birthday it didn`t bode well. The breakfast table was loaded with sweet things He, a diabetic, could not eat, he had an apple. Switched on the telly as mother and daughter began fighting about forgotten things, he intertwined when the mother cried, got her into bed for a rest The flat fell broodingly silent. When the fog lifted the protagonists made up and sat talking about the restaurant they, with the man who was eighty years old, should go. The elderly man didn`t want to go but had no say in the matter, they were going to take pictures for the facebook. The birthday boy drank coca cola zero and hoped The party would be over soon he needed his afternoon nap.
