“I have been to many birthday parties and only this one has marshmallow.” said Bob trying to squeeze as much colorful twisted marshmallows into his tiny mouth as this had been the last chance on earth to eat that sweet.

It was nearly 12 when my birthday party was supposed to start. And I was super excited. I was wondering who would be the very first guests to come. Mum was still in the house busy preparing for the snacks and food when I sneaked to the gate, opened it and … waited.

“It’s time to get out of the pool, kids!”, said Robby’s dad. It was so much fun down here that I just did not want to move up. Only me and another guy were in the pool. “I am stuck!”, said I, trying to stick my feet to the bottom of the pool and showing my serious face, the face of someone who was indeed in a big trouble the escape out of which seemed to be impossible unless there is real magic in this world!

“Mum, can you please concentrate when I teaching you to do this song?”
“Yes darling. I am concerntrating.”
“But you need to do the action as well!”
“But I am driving do you see?”
