The birthday boy had a golden paper crown on his head and<br />
he seamed very pleased.<br />
The Anim<strong>at</strong>ronics started to sing birthday songs. Jeremy,<br />
dressed as Golden Freddy, clapped his hands over his head and<br />
stirred up the kids to join in with the claps.<br />
Toy Freddy pointed <strong>at</strong> the birthday boy, and Jeremy grabbed<br />
his hand and helped him to climb to the stage.<br />
The birthday boy took one clumsy step and fell on his face.<br />
Some of the kids laughed and pointed their fingers <strong>at</strong> him.<br />
Jeremy looked down <strong>at</strong> them with anger. He helped the boy<br />
up, the boy smiled with embarrassment and rubbed his pants.<br />
The Anim<strong>at</strong>ronics continued to play and sing, and the boy joined<br />
them.<br />
Jeremy looked back <strong>at</strong> the boys in the crowd. Something about<br />
their laughing and finger pointing reminded him of the shame<br />
he felt when he was crying and wetting his pants on a very<br />
similar stage. <strong>Five</strong> of those kids, three boys and two girls, lost<br />
interest in the show and sneaked to the Game Area.<br />
Jeremy stepped down from the stage and approached the kids<br />
who were playing the arcades away from the other children and<br />
parents.<br />
“Hello kids!” he exclaimed, trying to mimic a bear voice.<br />
“Do you want to e<strong>at</strong> a cake?” he bent over and asked in a low<br />
voice, as if he were making an exclusive offer, just for them.<br />
“Yes!” The kids cried together as a choir.<br />
