Trick Candles

With the March kit from A Million Memories.



Journaling Reads:

you were very excited to celebrate
your birthday at school
we bought tiny little brownies
one for each of your classmates

and four for you.
even daddy took the morning off
so we could celebrate together.

after we lit the candles
everyone sang for you
and you waited patiently
until it was over
so you could blow out the candles.
what you didn’t know
was that they were
trick candles
so just when you thought

they were out
they came right back.
just watching the surprise
on your face was worth it.
