The oddest birthday party setup/situation that you have encountered

[Anonymous]

Birthday party for a 3 YO. There was food, face-painting, a craft, two games, and a bounce house. The bounce house was way too small and no one was monitoring the number of kids that went inside at one time. There were a number of older siblings at the party who were bigger and rougher than most of the 3 YOs. As a result, the bounce house kept collapsing in on itself and pinning kids in piles. Parents kept having to rescue kids and it was a miracle that no one got seriously hurt. (Though there were some tears.) They deflated the bounce house when they served cake, which I'm sure lots of people were thankful for. Afterwards, DH overheard a conversation between the host parents-- Mom: Can you turn on the bounce house? Dad: I think the parents have had enough of it and are tired of yanking kids out. Mom: We paid for that fuckin' thing so kids are going to keeping bouncing until they leave.

Great thread and lots to laugh about. Over the top is kind of OK with me, but no AC in these big houses? So hot, and you just want to know if they are economizing on the Ac while spending big bucks on the limo....
