Brady heard his mother, but did not get out of bed. 

I don't want it to be my birthday, Brady thought, a 

bit grumpy.

When Brady didn't get out of bed, Brady's mother 

went up and knocked on his door.

"Brady? Why don't you come down for breakfast; I 

made your favorite - a pancake face with bacon." 

Brady's mother said.

Brady's stomach let out a loud growl, which made 

Brady's mother laugh. 

After climbing out of bed and walking downstairs, 

Brady plopped into a seat at the kitchen table. In 

front of him was a pancake face with bacon, just as 

his mother had said.

Brady stuffed all the pancake in his mouth so that 

he looked like a little chipmunk!

"Happy Birthday!" Brady's sister squealed, coming up 

to his place at the kitchen table, and sitting herself 

down as well.

Brady smiled at her and said thank you, even though 

he didn't want it to be his birthday.

"Brady!" His mother and father called from the living 

room. "Come here!"

Brady ran to his parents in the other room.

"We love you Brady!" They smiled at him, wrapping 

their arms around him in a big hug. Brady's sister 

came in from the kitchen to join them too.

"We have a surprise for you, Brady." Brady's father 

said.

"What is it?" Brady asked curiously. Even though he 

didn't want it to be his birthday, he still liked surprises.

"Well, since today is the last day of summer, and your 

birthday too, we invited all of your neighborhood friends 

for a birthday party!" Brady's mother said.

Brady looked at his family in shock. A birthday party? 

Wow! As much as Brady didn't want it to be his 

birthday, he still liked birthday parties

A little while later, Brady went outside to set up for the 

guests that were going to arrive soon for the party. He 

blew up balloons, put up streamers, and got out the 

party hats.

After Brady was done, he went back up to his room. 

Brady's mother saw that he was sad, and went to ask 

him what was wrong.

"Aren't you happy it's your birthday, Brady?" Brady's 

mother asked.

"No." Brady sighed, sadly.

"Why not?" 

"I don't want to grow up!" Brady frowned. 

Brady's mother gave him a big hug. "It's great to be 

young, but growing up is apart of life."
