Carol just celebrated her twentieth birthday. On the day of her birthday, she went out to lunch with her best friend Tina. Carol had planned to spend a quiet evening at home by herself. She didn't want to have a party, but Tina talked her into having her friends and parents over. After lunch, Carol went back to work. Her boss wished her a happy birthday and gave her a beautiful bouquet of flowers. When she got off work, she called up a few of her friends and invited them over to celebrate. Her father and mother stopped by before all of the other guests were supposed to come. Her mother baked a cake and her father cooked dinner. Carol just sat on her comfortable sofa and watched them. In the end, it was the best birthday she had ever had.
