Another Birthday Party...another mishap...
We walked into a somewhat crowded room of birthday party goers with a present in hand. Katin and I proceeded to find the birthday boy and his mom so she could hand him his gift. She was so excited to give it to him and have him open it because we had wrapped it together...so she knew what it was and probably wanted to play with it.
We found them.
Right in the middle of all the other birthday party goers.
Let the mishap begin...
"Hi Birthday Boy! Here is your present." (Katin gives present to birthday boy)
"Oh...you must have missed the email I sent earlier." (sorrowful look on face)
"Ummm....maybe, what did it say?" (feeling like all eyes were on me)
"We just decided that instead of bringing birthday boy presents that people could donate some money to my friend who has CANCER and will be going through CHEMO." (more sorrow on face)
Oh yea. That email. Nope. Didn't get it.
Kinda embarrassing. Right? Luckily Katin has no clue what's really going on and that mommy is totally hunched over trying to crawl into a little mouse hole. She proceeded to have a terrific time...as always with this particular birthday boy friend. And I must say...I like the idea so much I might just copy it! (Instead of a pile of gifts, bring money to donate to a good cause) Genius! Especially for those of us who have NO MORE ROOM FOR TOYS!
OK, time to clean out a toy bin......
2 questions completely unrelated to this post (which is funny btw)...
ReplyDelete1) What beach is that? It doesn't look like 3 arch?
2) When did you guys become 100% total Californians!?!? Katin looks like a little surfer chick. All these pics lately are making me super jealous!
3) I thought you said your camera broke? You've taken some great pics lately!
Ok, sorry, that was 3 questions. Love you.
