Birthday Weekend Update: with your host, Wenchie McPirateson
Ah, a birthday with the McCabes. The free-flowing wine, the pink buttercream flowers, the laughter, the love... *sigh*
But I think my favorite part of my McCabe birthday party was when Heather's Dad told completely racist jokes, interspersed with the occassional abortion joke for good measure.
Heather bore the shame quite well -- face down on the table; long, flowing locks strewn across her frosting-smeared dessert plate -- in a manner both sexy and utterly despondant. I give her great credit for resisting what I'm sure was an overwhelming urge to impale herself on her dessert fork.
But, hey -- there was MORNINGFIELD'S CAKE! How bad could it have been?
The next night, at my next Italian restaurant birthday dinner, Boy Child and Girl Child were model children. No screaming, crying, fighting or trying to escape. And just when I was starting to feel bad about not going out to fight the Pod People and get the real Boy Child and Girl Child back, Jenga made me realize that that would not be necessary.
They were each building a tower out of the wooden Jenga blocks. Girl Child, being older and, therefore, more dexterious, built a taller tower. So Boy Child marched over and, rather matter-of-factly, smacked her tower onto the floor.
"Boy Child! That was mean! Tell Girl Child you're sorry!"
To which he replied, "I'm not."
And Girl Child said, "He's just jealous because my tower was bigger."
Well, well, well. Just five years old, and already she has a firm grasp of how the male psyche works.

and MY favorite part of the evening started when Wenchie started the evening's round of beverage-spilling, which quickly spread to the rest of the table...yes, half of us managed to spill our drinks over the course of the evening, although none quite so spectacularly as wenchie, who managed to soak my fiancee's chair
(something he and I had a deal not to allow, actually...)
ah well. we had fun, despite the family horrors...

Sucker!
