Please Stop Asking Me Questions

She planned the perfect birthday. Unfortunately, nobody else got the memo.

Charlie Evans has a spreadsheet, a schedule, and forty-eight carefully organized rows of instructions for her mother’s fiftieth birthday celebration.

What could possibly go wrong?

Apparently, everything.

The plan is simple: take her mother on a sentimental scavenger hunt through the places that matter most, then bring her home to a surprise party filled with family, friends, and enough birthday cake to feed the neighborhood.

Except Uncle Ted decides to deliver his clue dressed as a zombie, terrifying innocent park visitors.

The family Golden Retriever develops an unfortunate fascination with a pirate’s fake parrot, sending a three-tier birthday cake crashing to the floor.

An eleven-year-old neighbor decides that temporarily stealing an eleven-foot inflatable dinosaur would make an excellent Halloween prank.

And a suspicious neighbor calls the police because the activity next door looks increasingly questionable.

By the time Charlie arrives home with her mother, the police are pulling up, a local reporter is investigating, and forty-four party guests are waiting inside.

All Charlie wants is to give her mother the perfect birthday.

Instead, everyone keeps asking her questions.

Where’s the cake? What happened to the dinosaur? Why are the police here? And does anyone know where the extra napkins are?

Charlie has answers.

She has contingency plans.

She has a spreadsheet.

What she doesn’t have is another ounce of patience.
