NORMAN, OK — When first graders from McKinley Elementary School gathered at Sandra Underwood’s house for her sixth birthday party, no one expected to see anything out of the ordinary.  Kids and parents had been celebrating for about half an hour before the cake was brought out and it was time to sing ‘happy birthday’.  It wasn’t until the banner reading “Happy Birthday Sandra” had been revealed and singing had commenced that little Jimmy Haynes shocked everyone in attendance by getting down on one knee for the duration of the song.  Mr. Shaffer, who was in attendance with his daughter, commented, “I’ve never seen a more disrespectful gesture toward the happy birthday song.  Sandra was standing right there, and this was a direct slap to the face for her and quite frankly for everyone who has had a birthday before her.  I won’t allow this.”  When confronted about the reasoning behind his actions, Jimmy said, “This isn’t about Sandra’s birthday at all, this is about my own.  I’ve never had a birthday party because my parents won’t let me.  This was really just a way to get everyone to listen to me, since my parents just dropped me off and left.”  Debate immediately abounded whether everyone should be forced to sing ‘happy birthday’ or not, with the main concern being complete and utter obedience surrendered to whoever’s birthday it was because “God dammit it’s their birthday!” asserted Mr. Shaffer.  Others, however, were in favor of Jimmy’s expression to bring awareness to the fact he’s never had a birthday party.  One mother in attendance, Nancy Cobart, expressed, “What the hell kind of parents aren’t giving their six year old kids a birthday party? He deserves one just like everyone else.”  While debates among the parents continued for hours, all the kids forgot about it once they ate all the cake and started playing pin the tail on the donkey.
