Kennedy smiled as Kharri covered her eyes, awaiting her surprise. She could see the excitement on her daughter’s face as she patiently waited to see what was in store. They’d played the game for two years and every time they played it, Kennedy loved it more. She loved the way Kharri would dance around and giggle, happy to receive Kennedy’s gifts.

“Okay, Kharri. Try to guess what this one’s for?”

Kharri held her small finger to her mouth in thought. “I got it, Mommy. It’s because I have glasses, right?”

“No. I already gave you something for that.”

“Okay. It’s because I learned my ABC’s backwards.”

Kennedy grinned. “Nope. I took you to the movies for that.”

Kharri stomped her foot, exhaled, and shrugged her shoulders. “Well, I don’t know then. I haven’t done anything else.”

Kennedy removed Kharri’s hands from her eyes. “You can look now.”

Kharri looked at the cake that Kennedy held, bulged her eyes, and licked her lips. “Is it ice cream cake?”

Kennedy nodded.

Kharri jumped up and down and danced as Kennedy knew she would. Kennedy set the cake down on the table and served it.

“Mommy, so why did you get the cake? It’s not my birthday and I haven’t done anything.”

Kennedy kissed Kharri on the forehead. “Sure, you did. You do it everyday . . . you smile, Kharri. That’s worth a surprise, wouldn’t you say?”

Kharri grinned from ear to ear, exposing all of her teeth. Kennedy laughed, pinched her cheeks and dabbed frosting on her nose. Kharri stopped laughing and wrinkled her eyebrows.

“Uh-oh,” Kennedy said, getting up from the table.

Kharri screamed: “Cake fight!”
