“Oooooh,” we all ooohed as Harry lowered the small boulder to the floor and sat on top of it.

“So, what are you thinking about now?” ZuZu asked.

“My birthday wish.” Then Harry jumped off the rock and stood tall. “Got it!”

And that's when Grandma Spooger lit the candles on the cake and we sang “Happy Birthday.” Harry blew out all nine candles with one breath.

Everyone did take a piece of the kitty-litter cake, although Mary didn't finish hers. Only Harry, Sid, and Song Lee ate the Tootsie Rolls.

It's hard to believe a week that started out so terrible could end up to be such fun.

But that's what happens when friends forgive each other. And that's what life can be like with Harry in Room 3B.

Harry's Horrible Birthday Cake Recipe

Kitty-Litter Cake

Ingredients:

2 marble cake mixes
vanilla frosting
12 sugar cookies
green sprinkles
12 small Tootsie Rolls (Midges)

Â
Directions:

1. Bake both cake mixes together in one large pan. Since doubling may require more cooking time, test with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, it's done.

2. Place cooled cake in a new, clean kitty-litter pan.

3. Frost with vanilla frosting.

4. Crush the sugar cookies with a rolling pin. Sprinkle the crumbs on top of the frosting.

5. Add the green sprinkles on top.

6. Heat Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until soft (about 15 seconds). Drape the Tootsie Rolls on top of the frosting with the cookie crumbs. Hang one over the edge of the pan.

7. Serve with a brand-new pooper scooper.
