Dropping Birthday Gift Hints Part 2
"I understand," Suzie said to Mimi. "but everything on this list costs a fortune! Those of us who have had birthdays pass didn't have such high expectations!"
Mimi hung her head low, "And I thought being wealthy would be fun." she sighed sadly.
"So sorry, Mimi, not even Rosa wants to spend that much money." Suzie said sadly.
"Oh," Mimi sighed sadly. "okay."
Back in the kitchen, Henry was continuing his cooking when Stanley entered from the dining room.
"The dining room table is all set, Henry." Stanley said.
"Thanks, Stanley," Henry said. "and you, Anne, make like a cheetah and run."
"You got it, Henry." Anne said.
Anne raced into the living room.
Suzie lifted her eyes from her darning, "What is it, Anne?" she asked.
"Supper is on the table." Anne told her sisters.
Anne soon summoned the rest of her brothers to the dining room for supper and went into the restaurant to get her loving boyfriend, James Louis.
"What's going on here, Sheila?" James asked.
"Soup's on, James." Anne answered.
"Bonzer! I sure could use a break." James said, he was out of breath & thirsty.
At the dining room table that night, Alan noticed Mimi was feeling a bit glum.
"What's the matter, Mimi?" Alan asked.
"Oh, nothing, Alan," Mimi sighed sadly. "nothing at all."
"Oh come on, Mimi, don't feed us that! Now, please, tell us what's wrong?" Anne asked.
"Oh, nothing, Anne," Mimi sighed sadly once again. "nothing at all."
"Is it about your birthday?" Flip asked Mimi curiously.
