I couldn't wait for it until today. I was so disappointed when I realised I wouldn't technically be having my birthday this year because it wasn't a leap year. I tried to reassure myself by thinking that I would still be getting presents this year. I would also turn ten, but something about not actually have a day to celebrate it didn't really seem right. I lay in my bed and sulked. In a blink of an eye though, I was asleep. I woke abruptly and stared at my clock; 8.05. I trudged into the kitchen and found a note for me lying blankly on the table. Three words were scribbled on it: Happy Birthday, Mum! Oh dear I forgot it was a leap year...
