Birthday Switcheroo

Today we were playing with Daniel's piano. I was pinging out a few songs that he might know, and I ended up playing the "happy birthday" song.

Daniel: Is that the happy birthday song?
Me: Yeah.
Daniel: Is it my birthday song?
Me: Well, it's everyone's birthday song. We're going to sing it to Riley on Saturday.
Daniel: I want it to be my birthday. I want a cake.
Me: Your birthday will come in September.
Daniel: I want a cake before September!

(He proceeds to scream and cry, repeating this mantra.....)

(He finally settles down.....)

Daniel: I want it to be my birthday.
Me: Well, first we'll celebrate Riley's, then Mommy's, then Grandma's, then Grandpa's, and then Daniel's.
Daniel: I want to switch with you and I have your birthday and you have my birthday.
Me: Well, I promise to share some of my cake with you.
Daniel: Will Riley give me cake?
Me: Yes, I'm sure she'll share her cake with you.
Daniel: I want two pieces.

That child loves him some cake!
