Then I knew something was up when everything quieted down in the dining room . How suddenly everyone wanted me to clear the table . I could hear whispers and giggling , I kept trying to hold back more and more but finally I was forced into the dining room where they had an ice cream cake ( my favorite from Carvel ) They all insisted on singing Happy Birthday to me .

Question: What may be the reason for the giggling and the whispering ?
Answer: They heard they 're getting a car for their birthday .They are excited about the surprise .They found out a secret about them .They heard what they did wrong .
