The Birthday Surprise

Alexis and Alfred were planning a surprise for Angela's birthday with their mommy inside their parents' room. Alexis recommended that they all hide inside of Angela's closet until midnight and startle her with a greeting. 

"Guys," said Andrea. "I hate to break it to you, but we won't all fit int the closet."

"Mom! I swear! It's going to be fun!" Insisted Alexis. She had already planned it out, buying party hats, confetti, and party whistles. 

"I don't like closets," said Alfred. "Dadd, Chev, and I will just wait outside the door. You and mommy hide in the closet. Besides, someone has got to keep her outside the room so you guys can hide in the closet."

"You are no fun, Alfred!" Objected Alexis. 

"Lex, baby. It's okay. He is right. We can't possibly hide there for so long, Alfred and Chev will keep Angela outside her room until maybe an hour before midnight.
