GRADUATION PARTY ESCALATION IS DUMB

We’ve started the rounds of the graduation parties again, and boy, they are better than ever. People are so creative and generous with the food and festivities they share with their child’s friends and teachers. The way families seek to honor their graduates is so heartwarming.

That’s the good news. The BAD news is, OURS is still coming up. Nine days, and counting. It’s GOT to be good.

So I was “encouraging” my husband to set up the hammock, replace the basketball hoop and put some air in the ball, place the softball bases in the pasture, park Maudie the tractor in the driveway to offer kiddie rides, and fire up the batting cage. . .

. . . and he said, good-naturedly, “What do you think this is, FUN-PLEX?” (that’s the local amusement park / arcade / go-cart joint)

Oh, out of the mouths of babes: Maddy added, “Or maybe DUMB-PLEX!!!!”
