A Birthday Distraction Part 3

Even to this very day, Alan got nervous in high places except for when he was on an airplane.

"Please be careful Annie," Alan called, still sitting on the swing that was next to Anne's. "don't go so high!"

Anne stopped swinging, "Don't be such a worrywart, Alan!" she chided.

"Hey," Alan said to Anne disagreeably. "I'm only worried for your safety."

Back at the Chan residence, Suzie took Alan & Anne's double layer pineapple upside-down cake out of the oven and set it on the table.

Henry put the coconut frosting on the cake and topped it off with a number one candle and a number five candle as Stanley entered the kitchen.

"Is the cake finished yet?" Stanley asked.

"Yes it is," Henry said. "and the fried chicken and broccoli macaroni & cheese supper I made is also ready."

Nancy entered the kitchen from the living room.

"That's good," Nancy said. "because there is only one more thing we need to do."

Charlie then came into the house with Rosa Van Inkley at his side.
