In honor of your birthday today, enjoy your present, Sofia2017 planning! I thought it would be a nice idea if young Roland and Tilly sang this at their mother's birthday celebration. Roland and Tilly might not have the same taste in music, but they both agree that they want to give Grand Mum something special for her birthday. The rule that the winner of a game picks a song is from chapter 4 of my story A Puzzling Mystery Weekend. New Kids on the Block's music is not mine.

"Come on, Roland! It's time!" twelve-year-old Tilly urged, dragging him out to the middle of the ballroom where everyone was waiting for them. Their mother was sitting in a chair in the middle of the room, and the children were going to sing a song for her birthday.

However, ten-year-old Roland looked like he'd rather be in a room full of cats. "You know I'm not a fan of this group, Tilly…" he muttered as he followed her.

"You know I won the game, and like the rules say, I pick the song," Tilly whispered back. "And if you behave yourself during the song, I'll give you an extra-large bowl of jiggly-wiggly pudding!"

"Nice try, Tilly, but the way to MY heart through my stomach has a detour," Roland muttered. He smiled innocently at Baileywick, who was giving him a suspicious frown.

"Prince Roland, since this is your mother's birthday, I strongly urge you to be nice to your sister," the steward whispered.

"I am so nice to my sister!" Roland whispered back with a grin.

Tilly rolled her eyes, but she smiled as the song started and she began to sing.

Happy birthday to you, this is your day
On this day for you, we're gonna love you in every way
This is your day, your day
Happy birthday to you, to you, to you

Roland sighed to himself, but he forced himself to smile as he sang to his mother, Happy birthday to you, you're so young

("Oh, Roland!" Grand Mum laughed.)

Age is just a number, don't you stop having fun
This is your day, your day
Happy birthday to you, to you

Tilly hugged her as she started the bridge, This day only comes once every year

Roland was on her other side and hugged her as he joined in, Because you're so wonderful
With each and everything you do, hey

Tilly smiled as she sang the last verse, Happy birthday to you, this is your day
On this day for you, we're gonna love you in every way

In spite of himself, Roland gave a more genuine smile as he joined in, This is your day, your day
Happy birthday to you, to you

They finished the song together, This day is only for you
'Cause you're so special in every way
Happy birthday to you

Over the applause, Grand Mum smiled. "Thank you so much, my dears! That was so sweet of you!" She whispered to Roland, "And thank you for humoring your sister, Roland."

"Happy birthday, Mother," Roland smiled as he hugged her.

"Now, as promised, baby brother…" Tilly smiled as she brought out a large bowl full of Roland's favorite food in the whole kingdom.

"Tilly, have I told you that I love your taste in music?" Roland grinned as he grabbed a spoon and dug in.

"Oh, Roland," Grand Mum smiled.
