Today is a special day. May's birthday. Roses in May, for May, is the line I'll use when I announce that May and I are dating. Only to family, of course.
May's party is at noon. She doesn't know about it. It's in the battle area. She doesn't go there, often.
"I'm going to the battle arean!" May announces.
'Seriously, ' I think and roll my eyes.
"No! Today is your birthday. ! Let's go to the movies!" I grab her hand and drag her to the movies.
"Let's see, oh! You choose," I tell May.
"Uh, ok. Jalen and The Big Small Shrink,"
"Two tickets for what she just said,"
We get the tickets and go to the movies.
We come out of the theater.
"Well, that movie was terrible, " I snort.
"I liked, none of it, " May sighs. Wow. MAY can't put a sugarcoating on it, must be AWFUL.
Next we go to the pool.
I basically watch May fail at learning how to professional dive. I laugh, giggle, snort, chuckle, point, fall out of my chair, and finally, drag her out of the water, back to our hotel room.
"Hey!" She pouts.
"I was saving those poor kids from seeing you repeatedly almost drown," I chuckle.
She punches me and lies down on her bed.
"I'm taking a nap, " she tells me.
I look to the clock. 11:34. She can sleep till 11: 55, then, party.
"Ok, sleep tight,"
