45. Emotional Cake!

So, it's time for me to paint you a picture folks! (This picture will be in words, the only art I can somewhat manage.)

You are eight years old, turning nine. Your birthday is like a magical day to you. Your relatives and the nice friends give you special attention, and everyone tells you happy birthday. Let's not forget the presents either, which are like berry treasure to a pirate, but you probably like them even more then the pirate likes his jewels.

But then, oh no!, something terrible happens. They is a mean, evil person that tries to steal away your awesome day! They want to help open your present? Well no, this is your time! They want to take a candle off the cake to lick the frosting off? No way!

So you start yelling at that person(s) and at first your mother, or teacher, or whoever, tells them to back off. It IS your birthday afterall. But then after too many times, they start to get mad at you. But it isn't your fault they are making you so emotional!

And so in the end, you are crying because you got yelled at on your birthday, and the other kids are crying because they were yelled at also.

Oh the joy of birthdays. The end.

Well, you might be able to guess that my sister had a birthday party yesterday. It was just family, but our other little sister was there, and let's just say she likes to harass people sometimes. Poking, mocking, annoying, ect. She can be sweet, but definitely not to me.

So the youngest sister was bugging the birthday girl, which really caused problems. In the end they were both crying, and the pictures probably had tear streaked, red, and angry faces.

Birthdays are supposed to be happy! Right? I can remember back to my birthdays when I was that age, and I probably threw fits also. Trying to think of the reasons, I can't really figure the gist of these emotional rages on birthdays. Is it because you want everything to be perfect, for you? Or you are so happy, that the negative things seem so huge to you and bring you down from that happiness?

I haven't thrown a fit at a birthday in awhile, so my guess is that they get better as your grow more mature. I don't say grow older, because matureness and age are very different things.

So my question is, do you remember seeing or throwing one of these fits at your, or someone else's birthday party?
