Pants optional - shoes a must.
Mar 01 '00
In Hairy Knee, AZ we don't have too much to keep us entertained, but there are a lot of kids and therefore a lot of birthday parties. I would like to tell you my birthday party ideas. Wait, don't take me for a pervert because of my review title. Let me explain it.
Here in Arizona, you can imagine that keeping cool is a priority. Call these "snut_rucket's hot and wet party ideas" - your mom will love it.
The pants. They've got to go. Make sure every kid shows up with a swim suit. If they don't want to go swimming then there is something wrong with them and you should immediately send them home - they didn't bring a good present for your kid, I can tell you that right now. Swimming is the ultimate birthday party activity. What kid doesn't enjoy swimming and playing Marco?......Polo. Swimming is perfect for you parents as well because the kids will entertain themselves and all you need to do is keep an eye on them to make sure nobody cheats when whoever is 'it' asks "Fish out of water?"
The shoes. Shoes are a must in Arizona because the sidewalks are hot enough to fry eggs on (yes, I've done it). Another great party idea is to make sure you supply each kid with a Super Soaker. When they get bored of swimming in the back yard they will want to go inside and you don't want that. Send them out front with the Super Soakers and they will keep themselves entertained for at least another hour picking on one particular individual to shoot at (probably the kid who didn't want to swim - told ya to send him home).
Okay, here's a fun activity that takes preparation. This is something that should be done the night before the party. If your kid's party is going to be all boys then go to the store and buy all GI Joes or Star Wars figures (but not that Princess Leia figure in the scantily clad outfit from Return of the Jedi - there was a lawsuit, it wasn't pretty, I won't say anymore than that on the advice of my lawyer). Take these figures out of the packaging when you get home and put one each in those big red party cups (you know, like the ones at keggers) and fill them with water. Make certain you include all the weapons that come with each figure because I'm telling you, those boys will know if Lando Calrissian didn't come with his Super Gamma Detonator gun. Put all the cups into the freezer so that when it comes time for the party, the figures will be frozen in their own little cryogenic chambers. This is WAY fun for the boys to dig the figures out of the ice with spoons, forks, or knives. If your kid's party is all girls, do all of the above except buy Polly Pockets or Littlest Pet Shop figures instead.
Most importantly - come back and tell me how your party went and if you have more ideas to add to my humble little review!
