“What’s all the cackling about?” Grandma Gilda asks. She is suddenly at our level, all scrunched down into a squat. We are face-to-face with George. She takes a finger to Big Henry’s face and wipes the batter off. Then she licks her finger!

“Mmmm,” she says. “I love batter splatter.” Then we laugh all over again, and finally our waffles are ready and we sit down to eat my birthday breakfast in Plattsburgh.

“Julesium,” Teddy says from the other side of the table, “is this your birthday party?”

“I guess so,” I say.

“So I am the only friend who was invited?” he asks, smiling.

“Yep,” I say. I guess he is.

“You can have a friend party later in the summer, Julesie. Maybe even at BLOOM!” my mom says as she and Andie join us at the table.

“Ooooh,” I say. I didn’t even think of that. We will have our own restaurant when we get home. Then this makes me miss my dad, thinking of him working while we’re here eating waffles and road-tripping.

Big Henry interrupts my sad thought to give me a present. It is wrapped in a hand towel from the hotel bathroom. I open it up and before my eyes I see Big Henry’s most prized possession. It is a rubber duckie with a mask on.

“You’re giving me Bat Duck?” I ask. Hank has one million rubber duckies, but this one is his favorite. I look at my mom and she shrugs.

“Yeth,” he says. “Well, you can just borrow him for your birthday.”

I am relieved. “Thanks, Hank,” I say.
