Birthdays are always a memorable event, regardless of your age. Your parents must have invited all of your friends when you were a kid; there would be a giant cake, plates full of chowmein, samosas, chips, and other munchies! Birthdays were usually like a festival, with music blaring and various games going on. Birthdays, on the other hand, became a smaller occasion with less enthusiasm as we grew older. That isn’t to say we don’t enjoy birthday surprises! Anyone, regardless of age, enjoys getting surprises, and nothing could be more amazing than a birthday surprise. A video of an elderly guy being surprised with a birthday cake has just gone viral.
