Thank you, Costco Pizza Lady. You have been entertaining all weekend. This one about the gift made my Sunday night.

She said she ordered 4 pizzas and had TWO WHOLE PIZZAS left over. Two costco pizzas for 13 tweens/teens. Maybe she got ones with everything on them? I just can't imagine.

But 13 tweens/teens? I thought she said the party was at 6:30 pm? It is surprising.

I think the eVite mentioned that all kids should have a large Acai bowl and a kale smoothie before arriving to the party. They were probably already full.

I would never give a gun and a gift, and am shocked others think this is ok

And this is why some kids are facsinated with guns, EVERY gun is tabboo to them so they are in awe over them.

So, you won’t give a gun as a gift...but, no issue donating them to the underprivileged?

This was my favorite part of this story, too - only just beating being pissed at getting a Nerf gun at a lazer tag party. Maybe it's a full moon...

LOL Considering the idiocy of this thread, I had to actually read the other thread to make sure this wasn't true.

I am shocked if this is serious.

Wait? Are we actually talking nerf guns?

Elementary school I asked the parents. Middle school, I have my son pick out the gift. He asks his friend what they want. I have no time or patience for over protective parents of middle schoolers. If you need to return a nerf gun, that is your parenting fail not mine. Teach your kid not to ask for items he is not allowed to have. A 13 year old should be mature enough to handle this.

OP, you are an well-mannered boor.

You invite other people's children to engage in something you find unacceptable because it's okay as long as everything 's in the name of your Larlo having fun and then you turn around and disparage a thoughtful gift you were handed. You have absolutely zero class.

My DS has a similarly themed party very recently. He was given an amazing nerf gun by one guest. Not only was it the best toy he has ever been gifted but the whole family had fun playing with it. DS felt very good that the friend was so thoughtful and generous. I absolutely can't imagine where you get off with your attitude!

I dont like toy guns (or real guns). My son wanted to play with squirt guns and nerf guns and went to laser tag parties. I let him join his friends in these activities. Forbade some stuff that I just wasn’t ok with (some video games). I redirected him to other stuff when I could. And he no longer really has any interest. You have a lot of control as a parent if you aren’t crazy.

I suspect it was a loaves and fishes thing. Not the strangest miracle related on this site. Amazing, improbable things happen, for real. You'd think people made them up.
