I created a child who is such a Libra that I can’t plan her birthday party because she keeps changing her mind about what type and theme party she wants to have. Today she asked if her cake could be half unicorn and half Minecraft 🤦🏾♀️

A lot of bad things going on in the world but my 3yo asked for “two snakes in a jungle house” as her birthday cake theme (I’m as confused as you are) and my 12yo son insisted on handling cake decoration. I love it and so does she. pic.twitter.com/tHqoTTDSet

She wants her dad and his soldier friends to crash said party in Eagle costumes.
My kids are weird.
My daughter is having an 18th birthday party. The theme is “Dress like 2001.” My first thought was: oh, sweet, these kids will look so cool in their clothes from the future. My second thought was: oh, wait, that’s the past. My third thought was: oh, fuck, I’m just old, aren’t I?

I threw a Boob-themed party for my daughter's 1st birthday since that was her only interest at the time. I hung busty pin up girl pictures and made boob cupcakes.

My son is having a watermelon themed birthday party. I went out and bought watermelon candy for goodie bags, red and green crazy straws for the kids, ingredients to make watermelon themed food, watermelon prizes for games…

You know what I forgot to buy? An actual watermelon.
