Miss M and I were chatting yesterday, and the topic of birthdays came up. I told her my birthday was coming up very soon, and I asked her how old she thought I was going to be. She confidently guessed 9. (Gosh, I love that child.) She asked if she could come to my birthday party. I told her I wasn't sure I wanted to have one. I might as well have told her that I was going to chop off my own leg. She was horrified, and insisted that I HAD to have one. Then she said we needed to make a list, and that she would help me plan. With an orange crayon on the back of a drawing of a puppy, I wrote this list while she dictated it to me:
Miss Jennifer's Birthday
1. Everybody has to wear handsome and pretty clothes
2. cupcakes
3. juice boxes
4. any kind of presents for little kids
5. everybody can have whatever they want without asking permission (including cheetahs and cheetos)?
6. popcorn (she specified that it should be plain)
7. a bowl of nutritional yeast (?)
8. many mac and cheeses
9. pancakes
10. chocolate milk
11. everyone has to play mom & dad
