My first kids' party!

Yesterday I did something I have never done before - I went to a kids' party. You know the sort of thing - a dozen or more five year old girls, yelling and running everywhere, jumping on bouncy castles and eating rubbish. I had expected tears somewhere along the line but the only appearance that Miss Tantrum made was at the end when they all had to leave - one didn't want to go!

I don't know what anyone else thought, but in my humble opinion these shindigs should employ at least a couple of bouncers - keep the little monsters under control. And that's just the mothers.

I particularly liked the part where they all sang "Happy birthday" because they all started yelling for three cheers. On and on they went - and they even continued the cheering when they all went back to jumping, running and yelling.

As I said, I have never done it before but there is a first time for everything, so I am told.
