He skipped into the kitchen, pulled out all the ingredients for a giant, excessively decorated birthday cake, even though it wasn't anyone's birthday. Humming a silly tune, he decorated the cake with the words, "Surprise! It's a DNA twist!"

He spent the next few hours leaving absurd voicemails for his parents, using funny voices and repeating the same sentences.
