April 12th It was Mom's birthday today. We had arranged a big picnic and invited lots of people from the village. We needed to keep it a secret from Mom, so Zoe's mom took her out for morning coffee. That gave us time to prepare the surprise party. Zoe and her two brothers helped us carry the food and drinks to the park. Dad carried the tables and zoa's dad brought the chairs. My brother, Jay, arrived late as usual and all he was carrying was his guitar and a soccer u're not much help," I ball. You said. He just laughed and said, "I'm too important to carry things I'm a superstar!" He thinks hesse funny.
