From yesterday's Express

April 20th 2007

TOYLAND RESIDENTS WERE in shock that Emily is now eight years old, it emerged last night.

King Cheeky of Boston said, 'It seems just yesterday that she was four got me on August 1st!' reminding Boston of his own birthday.

Shawly agreed that 'Emily grows up so fast!'

Other toys claimed to have noticed 'tell tale signs' that Emily's birthday, a national holiday in both Boston and Smallvania, was approaching.

'It is exactly 365 days since she turned seven,' said mathmetician Sabrina Spellman, fresh from her triumph of winning the University Challenge trophy for Sunnydale University.

'And it is EXACTLY a YEAR since I built my department store!' said Barry Bramble.

Ducky ensured he had the last word. 'I've been scheduled in my diary to sing Happy Birthday to Emily today for ages.'

Ducky is three years old today. Also sharing a birthday this April 20th is White Teddy, aged eight. Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her birthday tomorrow.
