A very short story
You Are Never Too Old
by RodG
As Wesley Wentworth buttoned his brown cardigan, he glanced into the mirror.
“You’ll do . . . I guess.”
Today was his 80th birthday, and five female friends at the Senior Residence insisted on giving him a party in the Community Room.
When he arrived, four women screamed in unison, “Look at your cake!”
Arms pointed at a huge three-layer paper cake bedecked in pink ribbon.
Suddenly a woman exploded from its top. Naked!
“Melinda,” he gasped.
“You’re grinning,” she laughed. “Happy Birthday!”
