Something New

I saw something today I have never seen before.  Himbeere and his friend were visiting this weekend and, since his birthday is coming up but he wouldn't be here, we decided to have cake and ice cream today for him.  The menu was at his request, so we had pancakes for lunch.  Then the cake and ice cream.  Brombeere lit the candles and brought the cake over while we all sang the Happy Birthday song.

Then he took the cake, brownies actually, which were still in the pan.

Instead of blowing out the candles, which is what normally happens, he took the pan and waved it back and forth until the candles went out.

And it worked!  They all went out!

I guess with his girlfriend sitting right there, he didn't want to take any chance of missing any if he blew them out the traditional way.  After all, if any more than one had failed to go out, he could have been in serious trouble.
