My aunt turned 50 on Friday, so we had a big surprise party for her tonight. We had about sixty of her closest friends crammed together in my grandma’s basement waiting for her arrival. [It's a nice finished basement though, so it's not like we made them hang out with cobwebs and dust or anything]. We normally go out to dinner for people’s birthdays. So my aunt chose the restaurant she wanted. The plan was she was going to go over and pick up my grandma and my mom and they would drive out to the restaurant together.

When my aunt and her fiancé got to grandma’s house grandma said, “You better go down and talk to Cathy [my mom]. She’s having trouble with her hair and she’s in a mood. She says she might not even go.”

So Candy came down the stairs hollering, “Cathy, what the hell’s wrong with your hair?” But instead of finding my mom struggling with her hair she was surprised by party guests. She was totally surprised. And if you know my family you know that was no small feat. It’s nearly impossible to keep a secret in my family.

One of the party guests brought her daughter who is about the same age as Skyler and Spencer. Skyler and the little girl hit it off immediately. They played with Bratz dolls the whole night. Remember those days when we were young and we’d play with any kid that was the same gender and near the same age? Today I run in tons of 30-somethings, but I rarely play Barbies with them.

Later in the night they decided to play tag and Spencer joined the game. All out of breath Spencer ran up to me and said, “There’s a girl trying to kiss me.”

I said, “Oh yeah.”

And he replied, “Yeah, but I told her I’m too charming to kiss.”
