Mine's Bigger than Yours! For Reals, it's HUGE!
Finally, I get out of the house, catch some sun and go to my baby cousin's b-day party. Okay I was a little hesitant because, well, it's a kids party full of germs, screaming kids and a clown. By the way clowns have always scared me but that's another post. I haven't been the best family member since I've never owned a car that had a working air conditioner for the past 12 years so an hour and half drive to San Antonio in the Texas heat made my decision not to go very easy. But now I am ready to repair family relations and get to know people I haven't seen since I was 5. This makes things hard because everyone recognizes us twins but I have no idea who these people are. So after a couple of moments of being the wallflower at the party I sat down and relaxed and started talking to people. It would have been easier with a beer but it being a kids party I had to make do with some punch. After watching the kids massacre a pinata and scavenge it's candy innards, I was having a good time and slowly letting the urge to have kids come and go in waves. Then the clown arrived and I wished I had my pepper spray just in case he decided to get to close but he pretty much stuck to entertaining the kids and was pretty good at it, too. He was kind of that snappy older possibly drunk clown that had a lot of quick comebacks to smart aleky kids comments and the kids loved him but the birthday baby was fast asleep. In the end we got some nifty squirt water rings, clown noses and balloon stuff like the nifty sword that I am posing with. Aren't I just dashing? I had to wrestle it away from my sister since she likes to pick on people with it and beat them. It's okay chica, I am not hurt but you better watch out, you have to sleep sometime. The only thing that would have been better was if my mom had gone. Our relations are not as well off as my mom and she just likes to show off all the new crap she buys. Well, I didn't want to play that game and she got upset and decided to take her toys and go home but for reals when did I grow up and my mom start acting like a kid? Oh well, the most important person who deserved my love and attention was my baby cousin. She was sooo cute! You gotta love a baby, they really can bring a family together and when you look into their cute little face you can see a new beginning for everyone.

What ELSE would you do with a balloon sword?
Kid's b-day parties can be the best form of birth control around. ;)
Heh heh. You're right. Instead of having junior high students haul around dolls for health class, they should just send them to a 5-year-old's birthday party for a couple hours.
Clowns freak me out. And annoy me. I would've made good use of that sword if he came anywhere near me. ;D
Sounds like a good time, despite the hot drive. It always feels good to mend some family fences. :-)
tshsmom, I agree about kid's parties being better than birth control. I felt my ovaries shrivel up and die with every shriek.
sme, we had to haul little eggs around in school, which I thought was the stupidest thing, but seriously if they made kids change diapers and wipe snotty noses, they would realize to enjoy their own childhood before working on their own babies. I totally agree, clowns are the scariest things around and I cling to my pepper spray when they are near me, you know just in case.
notta, I got a great family and I haven't seen them in forever and it's good to see that somethings change but others stay the same.
In school they made us haul around dolls lashed to 5-lb. bags of flour, and if anything happened to the flour you failed. ;P
