While being invited to organise a birthday party for a 6 year old,
- Be prepared to lose your voice calling attention to 25 odd kids, who are also yelling
- Brace yourself for wee li'l lah-di-dah girls who refuse to wear the party caps, cos' it'll ruin their perfectly straight hair
- Be prepared for kids clinging to your legs and demanding your attention
- Also kids crying cos' they got out in Musical Chairs
- Kids refusing to eat cake unless they got the 'Dora the Explorer' face or backpack part of the icing
- Kids spilling juice all over your spunky clothes
- Kids will puke without rhyme or reason, just for the sake of drama
- Tinier kids pulling at your perfectly permed hair or terracotta jhumkas, whichever is more attractive
- Kids drawing you into , ' Aunty she bit me, is she an animal?' discussions
- ALWAYS ALWAYS carry your camera to these kiddy events 'cos they do the darndest things and hell yes, photo op dangling in your face

looks like you had a super-fun bday party. very interesting. r u by any chance planning to upload any of these priceless moments to youtube? if so, i'd be thrilled to watch. :)
sadly, if you read the last bullet point in my list of lessons learnt , you'd realise the camera was absent. I'll look around :-)
