It is Homer's birthday, and all the family sing "[[Happy Birthday]]" to him. Homer pretends he doesn't need to make a wish, but wishes for infinite hamburgers, and tries to blow out his candles.

Homer continues attempting to blow the candles out, but after three hours, he gives up. He flops down on the birthday cake, and, in doing so, a candle sets fire to his party hat.

It is Homer's birthday, and all the family sing "Happy Birthday to You" to him. Homer pretends he doesn't need to make a wish, but wishes for infinite hamburgers, and tries to blow out his candles. He can't, however, and he thinks they are candles you can't blow out. They are actually the opposite: E-Z Blo candles. Homer continues attempting to blow the candles out, but after three hours, he gives up. He flops down on the birthday cake, and, in doing so, a candle sets fire to his party hat.

The house ends up being set on fire, and the family wait outside. Flint Drywall suggests they buy a fire-proof safe to keep their irreplaceable items safe, and they do.
