[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet they found out that one of the children has a severe allergy, and they didn’t bring anything for that child, so they panicked and decided the best thing to do was to serve cake to no one. But they also didn’t want to mention it because then it singles the allergy kid out. But their kid still wants to have everyone sing happy birthday, so they told their kid they would do the singing and then he could have cake at home. And it was a poor solution but the best they could think of in the moment.

Assume the best of people, OP.[/quote]

This is the only thing I can think of that makes sense. It’s really, really weird. [/quote]

Nah, at age 4 if the parents are bringing them to a birthday party and their kid anaphylaxes to milk or egg or gluten, the parents are well prepared at this point to 1) share with the host ahead of time and/or 2) bring a separate treat for their child, which is almost always what I've seen happen.  They don't show up at the playground, see the cake, and go "oh no!  we didnt anticipate a CAKE!  larlo has an anaphylactic allergy to both eggs and milk, could you please not serve it to anyone?"   they show up with their own treat in hand and let the birthday parent know "FYI, larlo has an anaphylactic allergy to egg and milk, so I brought his own treat, please don't serve him anything!  but i'll also keep an eye on him around any of the food."[/quote]
