The narrator tells the story of his birthday, which he says was the first time anyone had ever asked him when it was. The little boy asks the narrator if he can have a birthday cake, and the narrator says he can't, because he's too busy coloring. He tells the boy to whisper to him to keep moving. The boy gasps and says he doesn't want to hurt himself. The narrator asks the boy what else he'd like to do on his birthday. The kid says he wants to go out with the narrator on a date. He's so happy to hear that the narrator tried to celebrate his birthday with a party, and that he'll be going out with him on his date. This is like a picnic, the boy says, and he wants the narrator to snap a picture of it. He wants to use it as his wallpaper, but the narrator refuses to let him take it off, saying it looks too good to be true.
