Expector’s Challenge: Have something up your sleeve; The Birthday party

Posted by setareh on June 16, 2016

Every child loves birthday party and presents, so I always have something up my sleeves to catch my kids off guard. Once we were on a trip; it was their birthday but it seemed like they had forgotten it. So when we came back from sightseeing I asked my sister to take them to yard and keep them busy, then my husband and I went to a confectionery and bought some balloons, a birthday cake, candles and of course presents . I will never forget their happy face as soon as they entered the room.

Dear Danny, although I forgot to add correction tag but I am so grateful to you for taking time and correcting my mistakes. It helps me a lot. I think I read that we can also use have sth up sleeves for positive intentions as well, am I wrong?
Anyway I appreciate you for taking time and helping us.

Great job!

The last sentence can be rephrased, though - you could have used 'when' instead of 'as soon as'. You can say 'As soon as they entered the room, I opened the box.' or 'I'll open the box as soon as I can or as soon as possible.'

Hope you get it! Keep it up!

Dear Batuhan and Mishaikh, thanks for your comments. Dear Mishaikh it's not a typo, actually they are twins therefore they have two faces, right?:)

..........their happy faces..............

This may be only a typo.

Nicely and emotionally written setareh.
