It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to.

There were lots of things Nathaniel enjoyed about his birthday.  Toys!  Wrapping Paper!  But, there were two things that quickly turned Nathaniel's shrieks of happiness into tears and shrieks of anger.  Party Hats and Cupcakes.  Sure, they seem harmless, but to Nathaniel they are sadistic tools of torture.
