Lists: Day Fourteen

Yesterday was Bret's birthday. While taking pictures during the celebration, I ended up with a series of photos that makes me laugh.

This is a list of things you would do if you were Bret, trying to extinguish the candles on his cake.

1. Manage a half-smile while your cousin leads a rousing birthday song.

2. Take a deep breath and try to get each candle blown out. Wow. That's a lot of candles. Must be getting old.

3. Realize your mom bought trick candles.

4. Blow again.

5. Get angry and try karate chopping the candles.

6. Get really angry and determined to get each out, despite your family and friends laughing at you.

7. Finally triumphant, begin plotting to humiliate your mother in similar fashion.
