A FIVE hour time investment? I hope you at least really like this person because my hell. What a waste of a day. I feel like booze should be a mandatory provision if you're going to be subjected to this kind of thing during your free time.
Not a big fan of baby showers either. What a good friend you are. While mattress pads might seem boring, that is one of the gifts that the new mom will use for years. That was a smart choice.
I find them adorable but that's probably because we don't do them in Greece. I wanted to throw one for a neighbor but she went in labor early! But I don't do well with obligations so if I had to go to one it would feel different. Have I mentioned I am really spoiled?
All day? Maybe three hours max, but all day? Think of it this way: you may have sacrificed one Sunday for your friends terrible choice to procreate, but she has sacrificed every day for the rest of her life.
Yes, yes I did have more fun. Who invented baby showers anyway? They're such a bad idea. You should be able to just send a gift by mail and call it a day.
I detest a shower of any sort, including the huge thunderstorm we had yesterday that caused Penelope to press herself against me and tremble.

I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteUggh...I hope she doesn't follow your blog.

ReplyDeleteThat sounds absolutely miserable. A baby mattress pad? So... like, a puppy pee pad basically?
