Gros Souhaits d'Anniversaire!

Joyeux anniversaire! Un groupe d'amis partage un fait remarquable: ils ont tous la même date de naissance. Leurs parents avaient prévu de fêter ça avec une grande fête, avec des gâteaux spéciaux pour chaque enfant, préparés par la nouvelle pâtisserie de la ville. Mais ils étaient loin de se douter que les voeux des enfants fêtés allaient se réaliser de la manière la plus folle, la plus désordonnée et la plus palpitante qui soit ! C'est à l'équipe d'anniversaire de sauver parents et invités des situations délicates et hilarantes qui se présentent. Alors, fermez les yeux et faites un GRAND voeu, mais attention à ce que vous souhaitez !
