Party

Last night I went out to a friend's house where there was a 'celebration' for a mothers' group I am in - for existing members and new members.  There was a similar do last year at a restuarant which was lovely - and there were head/shoulder massages in between the courses!  This year however we were gonig to Milly's house and she put on some food etc.

As I was leaving my 4 year old asked me where I was going:

Mac - Where are you going?

Me - to a party

Mac - will you get a balloon?

Me - erm, I don;t think so -probably not

Mac - have you wrapped the present

Me (thinking 'Shit, should I be taking some wine?') - erm no, it is not that type of party?

Mac - how can you have a party with no presents or balloons?

he has a point.

Luckily I was not the only one to show up with no plonk.  Also there were no balloons - much to Mac's disgust when he woke up this morning.
