Surprise! 80 Words or Less writing prompt entry

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!”
