Concept

Char. 2's birthday, he thinks Char. 1 forgot
Char. 1 bakes a cake and makes a turkey; both turn out badly
Char. 1 wraps a present and hides it, then goes out to get food
Char. 2 waits till char. 1 is gone, then searches for evidence that char. 1 remembers
Char. 2 finds a used candle, then finds a birthday card from the mail
Char. 1 puts the card out so that Char. 1 can see it and remember
Char. 1 accidentally covers up the card with the take-out box
Both characters eat the dinner, Char. 2 tries to get Char. 1 to see card, Char. 1 tries to get Char. 2 to find present under the table
Char. 2 gets up; Char. 1 washes dishes
Char. 1 finds Char. 2 asleep on the couch
Char. 1 puts present on Char. 2's lap then goes to sleep


Goal: To show how sometimes humans can make communication difficult, and the best intentions can go wrong in so many ways.
