Pookie and Geetle had a great time.

I did not.

Why don’t people RSVP?  If you aren’t coming, at least have the decency to tell the host that, so she can move on and maybe invite a few Tier II guests instead.   Is your kid so popular that he/she gets literally dozens of birthday party invitations a week and you could not possibly reply to them all?  No?  Then have enough common courtesy to drop me an email telling me you aren’t coming.  We had party hats for you , Zoe and Jacob.  I made a candy necklace for you, James.  I bought enough donuts for you both, Yasmine and Britney.

I am glad 4 of our friends did come over today.  A party of 6 preschoolers was a good size.  We had fun playing pin the tail on the donkey, drinking out of teacups and eating birthday donuts.  But, I am mad that the others did not show.  Good thing Pookie and Geetle are too young to notice, I would hate to see their feelings hurt.  The ironic part is that I am sure Zoe, James and the others did not refuse to come….their parents never gave them the opportunity.    Stupid parents.  I will still say “Hello” to Zoe on the bus, but I might not talk to her Mom at the next Field Day.
