Dear parent of a now-six-year-old

posted in Birthdays, OmegaDotter, Parenting, Pop Culture |

You invited the dotter to your daughter’s birthday party.

The party was in Big City at the science museum.

WAY kewl!

Um.

But.

Um.

That’s a fifty mile drive.  One way.  It takes an hour to drive.  One way.

Sorry, we’re not going.

(Does it strike anyone else as a wee tad overboard to be having your six-year-old’s birthday party at a big science museum that is an hour’s drive away?)

    um, we have a 6 year old twin birthday party at the Boston MFA today…. It’s only 16 miles, but still an hour drive.

    I think if it was for a small group (four kids max) and they were planning to drive the kids there, it would be one thing. But expecting everyone to drive out there is silly.
