A Very Pleasing Video

(My best friend is teaching in Asia for a year, so I’m making a video for her birthday. My two-year-old niece is playing nearby, so I decide to film her and include her in the video.)

Me: “[Niece], can you say ‘happy birthday?'”

Niece: “Happy birthday; I want cake.”

Me: “Oh. We don’t have any cake. Sorry.”

Niece: *thinks about it* “Happy birthday; I want cake PLEASE.”
