The photo goes viral
It was at Peter Piper Pizza that the little one’s mother, Sil Mazzini, had reserved a table for his birthday. The little family waited over an hour for the guests to come, but nothing happened. They decided to play the arcade games available to make the wait less long. The little one’s father told the New York Post “I was depressed for sure,” Teddy, the most important thing for him was to have his classmates there”.
Little Teddy’s mother said that of the fifteen children who had confirmed his presence, only one parent had apologized for not coming. The next day, the children still apologized to the little one for having missed his birthday. But Teddy’s parents didn’t want him to stay with that memory. So they sent a message to the KVOA channel, which shared their story. Teddy’s mother was all the more bitter than the parents had confirmed to come. This gave him the desire to organize other parties for “a while”.
