How does Eddie celebrate his 38th birthday
What is it
What is it
Marguerite and a group of children surprised Eddie with a cake for his birthday.
Eddie waves the drill. "I'm working here."
"Just for a minute, OK?"
Eddie stands up slowly, then follows her out the door. The sun hits his face. "HAP-PY BIRTH-DAY, MR. ED-DIE!" a group of children scream in unison.
"Well, I'll be," Eddie says.
Marguerite yells, "OK, kids, put the candles on the cake!"
The children race to a vanilla sheet cake sitting on a nearby folding table. Marguerite leans toward Eddie and whispers, "I promised them you'd blow out all thirty-eight at once."
