WHO IS THE FIFTEENTH ONE?

Dhruv’s birth day party was on Sunday. He told his mother that there were going to be fifteen friends in the party.
Mother gave fifteen invites to Dhruv and said, “Dhruv give these invites to your friends.”
“Ok mummy.” said Dhruv and took all the invites to school.
On the party day mother had put up lots of decorations and she had made yummy snacks.
The birth day cake had the picture of Mickey mouse and seven candles on it.
Mother served fifteen plates and one for the birth day boy.
After playing games everyone took a plate filled with snacks. But there was no one to take the last plate.
Mother looked around, but every one had their plates. Mother asked Dhruv, “Where is the fifteenth friend Dhruv?”
Dhruv counted all of them and said, “Mother, there are fifteen friends.”
Mother wondered.. “Where is the fifteenth friend?”
“I am the fifteenth one mother! How could you forget ME- the birth day boy?”
Mother laughed and said “Happy birth day my smart son!”
