Chapter 25. Wilbur's first birthday.

On May 6th 2025, it was Wilburs first birthday.

The little pudgy thing walked around the backyard, bothering his parents as they set up the birthday party.

He went to Franny first.

"Mama?" He said.

"Yes dear?"

"My birfday." He told her.

"Yes, it is your birthday today." Franny patted his head, then placed some presents onto a table. "Happy birthday. Your grandparents are going to be here soon."

Wilbur pointed to Lucille and Bud, who were telling Lewis how to hang the balloons. Lucille quickly slapped Lewis's theigh whenever he backtalked her.

"They here." Wilbur said.

"Thats your daddys parents." Franny told him. "My parents are coming over."

Wilbur nodded. "Can I have?" He pointed.

"You can have one, but the rest is for later when everyone gets here. Like Uncle Goob and his family." She handed him a small present.

He tore the wrapping off and hugged a small teddy bear.

"Tank you." He said, hugging the bear. He waddled off to his father.

"Hey son." Lewis said, finishing with the balloons.

"Bawoon." Wilbur said, pointing.

"Good job." Lewis said. "I can babysit you now."

"You can?"

"Yep. And your mom can't stop me." Lewis told him, ruffling his hair. "I am going to take you out tomorrow, and I'll let you get whatever you want from the toy store, a late birthday treat."

Wilbur liked this idea. "Okay." He mumbled as he hugged his fathers legs.

The party started around 12, when Goob and his wife, daughter and newly born son, came.

Everyone was laughing and talking, Wilbur played with Megan, Goobs daughter who was just a year or so older then Wilbur.

"Happy birthday, Wilbur." Megan told him.

He nodded.

"Do you talk much?" Megan asked.

"I talk enuff." Wilbur replied. "Want to see my toys?"

Megan quickly agreed and they went and played for awhile away from the party.

Soon present time came and Wilbur opened each and every present with a small bit of help from Franny. Each gift he got he loved, played with for twenty seconds, then went off with the rest.

When Franny cut the cake, Wilbur blew out his candel, ate two pieces of the cake, then went back off with Megan.

"He really seems to like Megan!" Franny remarked to Goob.

Goob nodded. "They look so cute together."

The party ended at 6 O Clock, with everyone hugging and kissing Wilbur and wishing him a happy birthday.

Goob and his wife got into the car and chatted with Franny and Lewis for a few minutes before leaving. Wilbur talked a small conversation with Megan.

When Goob left, Lewis picked up Wilbur and said:

"Got a thing for Megan, huh kid?"

Wilbur shook his head. "She's gross."

"Why?" Franny asked.

"'Cause she's a girl."
