Good Evening Everybody!
Today has certainly been a busy Monday. Not that it was particularly unpleasant, just very busy. I am asked over 100 questions a day (give about 50 questions more on really interesting lecture days). By the end of the day, I am out of answers! Even on things that I know I have the answers on...such as: What's your date of birth?, What's your middle name? Are you hungry? How many siblings do you have? . Even the simple answers become one big amalgamation of thoughts that spew out randomly in front of an unasuming audience.
On to today's topic: How about giving me a "No Baby" Shower? That's right, I said it! Over the last year, all my closest friends have managed to have a baby or become pregnant. Good good, congratulations, I really am (really I am) very happy to welcome a new member of my "family" into this world. However, I have been ransacked for presents, time, food and patience! #1 I am a man, and I should not be made to go to your baby shower! I do however believe that I should most certainly give a gift. If you must have a baby shower, can it be some place like at a restaraunt? That way, I can eat, leave a gift and dip out before you all began playing those ridiculous baby games.
I believe that if someone reaches the age of 30 and they have not had a baby, then all their friends with babies should throw them a "Happy You Have No Baby Shower". The way I look at is is that by the time you are 30, you have spent over 2 to 300 dollars on parties that you have not planned nor asked for. Why not a little appreciation for the single and childless friends of yours?
***There are a few of you who may read this that I have rsvp'd for your shower, resisted your shower or that you plan on inviting me to your shower. ....well, if you have enough leverage, I'll capitulate ( yes, Tina, I'll be there and I will smile about it), but aside from Tina.....you better have some leverage!
Now, where's my party?
Have a Great Evening Everybody!

ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing sentence. You are so smart!
You are a terrible person! No you don't get to have a "no baby" shower...that's called "everyday life" for you. You get to come and go as you please, get the joys of having kids ( by being godfather to mine) without all the responsibility, and get the best home-cooked meals for free! I love you and thanks for coming to all 4 of my baby showers!! Lol!
