It's Emily's birthday!

But there are other peoples' parties to go to. I'll be taking Emily to one while Nevi takes Phoebe to another. Ordinarily, both girls would be going to Constantinos's, but Phoebe has been invited by the one girl in her class that she actually likes, so she thinks she ought to put in an appearance. (Generally she declines invitations to girls' parties. At the one she did go to - "because they will stop inviting me if I don't go sometimes" - she was put in a room with half a dozen little girls dressed as fluffy pink princesses and given dolls to play with. "It was a nightnmare, Daddy!")
