My Sister’s Birthdays<br />
By Paula Eyles, Hamilton<br />
My sister’s birthday is July 20. Since<br />
school was out for the summer, I never<br />
remember her having a ‘normal kids<br />
birthday party.’ To make things worse,<br />
the ‘kids on the street’ were usually gone<br />
because most of the factories, where<br />
our fathers worked, went on annual<br />
‘shutdown’ so everyone headed to their<br />
cottages, camping or grandmothers’<br />
leaving the neighbourhood empty.<br />
As a result, depending on your point<br />
of view, my sister had the best or worst<br />
birthdays each year. Most often, our<br />
family went camping. On the morning<br />
of Kathy’s birthday, our parents would<br />
send us to the blueberry patch to pick<br />
fresh blueberries which always ripened<br />
in late July. Mom would make blueberry<br />
pancakes for supper and put a candle<br />
in my sister’s stack as we sang happy<br />
birthday to her at the picnic table.<br />
One year, my mom read about a<br />
new amusement park opening called<br />
Fantasy Island and you could eat in the<br />
Big Birthday Cake there. So off we went<br />
on a road trip on July 20th and arrived at<br />
a very dusty parking lot and proceeded<br />
to take our picnic lunch to the Birthday<br />
Cake. We were all spread out with paper<br />

birthday plates, napkins, and hats and<br />
happily eating our lunch when a park<br />
official came to kick us out as we had not<br />
reserved the place for our party. As the<br />
four children, we were so embarrassed<br />
when the official came that we took off<br />
to look at the rides leaving my parents<br />
there to clean up and pack the car.<br />
On our way home, we stopped at<br />
Brock’s Monument at Queenston Heights<br />
on the Niagara River. Once again, Mom<br />
and Dad set the picnic table and opened<br />
a cookie tin to reveal a beautiful homemade<br />
birthday cake with candles for<br />
Kathy. We all sang Happy Birthday<br />
and ran around eating our cake while<br />
playing in the park. My parents smiled,<br />
held hands, and kissed—not phased<br />
at all by our Birthday Cake fiasco at<br />
Fantasy Island.<br />
Each year, on July 20th no matter<br />
what we have planned for Kathy’s<br />
birthday, we enjoy reminiscing about<br />
her past birthdays and laugh a lot. When<br />
talking to my sister before planning this<br />
year’s celebration, she told me that she<br />
loved every one of her birthdays. This<br />
year we are going to an Elvis Festival—<br />
she loves Elvis!<br />
