Birthday's and Burp-a-thons
THIS made me laugh out loud just at the thought. Since Im a mother to all boys, I truly cant imagine what it must be like to host girls birthday parties though I do remember a few from my own childhood it was all about who could stay awake the longest mainly. I think I held my eyes open so wide trying to stay awake one time, that they nearly dried wide open.
After our sons were born, I did, however, feel compelled to be one of those Moms who had to theme and orchestrate birthday parties for my sons.
Why?
Ive yet to figure it out so let me know if any of you have the earth moving answer will you?
Let me tell you, though, I was very happy to announce that after birthday number 10 we were done limiting birthdays to one friend sleeping over and going somewhere special or a certain restaurant out to eat, an individual field trip of choice anything but a party!
But, hands down, the best birthday memory I have from any of our sons birthday parties was the summer our oldest turned ten. The neighborhood we lived in had the neighborhood pool and picnic house, etc. I was by that time very ready to be winding down this whole birthday create-a-circus business and was easily convinced when our son wanted only to have a pool party with pizza and cake.
CONSIDER IT DONE, my son! was my immediate response. This would be great just a few balloons, order pizza, arrive with a cake and drinks a no-brainer for this mega-planning mom. The party was a hit as it was a typical hot, hot summer day.
But what went through my mind while the boys were all eating I have no idea clearly, it was my alter ego momma-self. I suddenly burst out with, Lets have a burping contest!
Can you hear the deafening roar of burps or what?
The looks on the some of the other mothers faces were those of, well, horror.
Especially when all they could hear was my hysterical laughter over and above the roar of burping from a dozen junior sized professional burpers.
This led to armpit pooting of magnamus proportions.
Finally, the other mothers could hold out no longer and broke into laughter. My stomach was cramping from laughing so hard.
Hey when in
I truly believe this was the most successful of all our birthday parties it was definitely the most memorable one!

it just serves to reaffirm that those of the male persuasion are absolutely infatuated with their bodily noises. I wrote about just this subject, myself. Ya know what they say...great minds think alike!
