My birthday was a little bit ago
now.... but this evening, the Ben clan came over and my sweet niece Mary, an
aspiring young baker, gifted me and absolutely
splendiforous two-layer roundcake, frosted in luscious green, and decorated
on top with a beautiful, golden-yellow Royal
Crest of Hyrule. All in perfect frosting, fondant-free.
She had set the covered dish right
in front of me, and it was only after I had removed the lid for the big reveal,
that I told her “Oh, I should’ve sung
the song as I took off the lid! You know—da-na-na-na,
da-na-na-na—” And I hummed that little wind-up tune that plays whenever
Link opens an important chest, and finished with a dramatic “DA-DA-DA-DAAAAH!”
We
laughed.
Dad fetched some candles and—bless
his heart, he went back when I asked him if he could find any red ones instead.... I kept the blue and
green ones, and he came back with a pink—close enough.
The pink candle went into the top
triangle, the blue candle went in the lower left, and the green into the lower
right. Triforce colors, Power, Wisdom, and Courage.
Augh
what great, geeky revelry! We lit the candles.
My family sang to me in four-part
harmony like they do, John and Siara threatening to add an extra cadence like they do....! But they refrained—aaaand I
just walked RIGHT into that pun—they all finished up with an extravagant flourish.... and I blew out
the candles with a wish.
Hahhhh if a certain someone knew
what I wished for....
But you know how it goes—if you say
what you wished for out loud, your wish won’t come true.
The cake was delicious. <3
Thank
you, Mary. ^_^
