OP, I hope you donβt mind me making an addition:
When I turned 17, we ordered a cake at the grocery store for my party, as weβd done many times before. If you wanted something written on the cake youβd write it into a section of the order form. We requested, very simply, βHappy Birthday Courtneyβ. When we went to pick it up the day of the party, this is what we got.
The bakery employees had absolutely no explanation for this. The order form, attached to the box, very clearly did not contain any of those extra names. Whomever had done the writing was no longer in, so there was no one to ask how this had happened. The fact that the name βJuanβ is misspelled bewilders me to this day. (Iβve never seen βMileyβ without the E, either, but itβs believable that someone might spell it that way.) Did this cake slip in from an alternate universe where Iβm one quarter of a set of Hispanic quadruplets? Dyslexic Hispanic quadruplets, maybe?
This cake became the focal point of my party. At least two of my friends regularly called me βCourtney Mily Jaun Pabloβ for years to come. My siblings and I still reference it sometimes, eleven years later. It is probably the funniest thing ever to occur at any birthday celebration of my life, and may well remain so for the rest of my days.
