The beginning of Den's 70th birthday weekend

Dennis was sitting here clueless yesterday. 
He had no idea what was about to happen...


I said, "Hey do you mind if we just have leftovers tonight?"
He said, "Sure. That's fine." 

Time passes, he's getting hungry 
and he's not seeing any leftovers being heated up. 

Our surprise still has not arrived so I said, 
"How about we just go out to dinner?"

He says, "Sure, let's go"

More time passes.

It's now 5:15 and he asks, "Uh when are we going?"

So I say, "Let's go at 6:00."

He does not look happy and sighs, but in a discouraged way. 
So I can tell he doesn't know what's up.
More waiting.
Then....

Unbeknownst to him, 
his kids and grandkids flew in to spend 
his birthday weekend with us!
