What is the WORST birthday you have ever had and what could you have done to improve it?

I have had a lot of birthdays. And this one was by far the WORST ever!
Today is my birthday party. I am 8 years old. Ok not yet, but because of my cousin and our birthdays are so close together that this birthday (and some before) we are sharing a birthday party. This year I am a big kid. I am getting so close to 9 and after 9 is 10. Double digits! I have a princess cake. So cute. It has the carriage, the barbie on there. I love it!! She has beautiful blonde hair, a blue dress and she has a carriage that is the same color as the dress. I love it! It has HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY ON IT! I am so excited to be 8 YEARS OLD!
Right on the right side of my cake(its split in half) was HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY and all kinds of icky boy stuff. It has cars on it. Cars?! Like boy cars. This was not girl cars. They are green, and they have flames. Who likes those? Obviously, an icky boy. I did not want this boy stuff on my cake. I don't really look at his side of the cake. Its an ugly boys cake.
Did they not realize he was just 5? I was 8! Did I mention how in 2 years I would hit DOUBLE DIGITS! That's a HUMONGOUS deal! He is 5, not 8 like me. I did not want to share my cake with him. I did not want to share my birthday party with him. I want my own princess cake. Princesses and hotwheels don't mix. Don't they know boys are icky?
I am a lot older. And I am a girl. Not a stinky, smelly, icky, sticky, little 5 year old boy. A boy! A BOY! I am a GIRL! Do not the realize this is really wrong? A hotwheel on a princess cake! Why? They don't belong together.
I suck it up and act like the big kid I am and "pretend" to enjoy the rest of the party. *sigh I am not 5. I am a big kid. Practically an adult.* We have games. *My cake was so pretty, but his side wasn't.* We open presents. *I am a girl, not a BOY.* I got a bunch of awesome presents. Some pretty clothes, some new dolls, and some money.
I am still angry I have to share my birthday with a baby! HIS side of the cake says he is 5! That is definately not 8, like me. Luckily, I will be 9 next year, and I won't have to share it with a boy.
5. Who do they think I am? A 7 year old?
Wow, that IS a bad birthday. Especially for a little girl. I think you should throw yourself an 8 year old girl birthday party now. Like a do-over.
ReplyDeleteAww.. I feel so bad for that 8 year old girl. She shouldn't have had to share her pretty cake with a boy! I agree!!! Hey, at least you got some money out of it. :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww... totally not fair! You shouldn't have to share your cake, just make TWO cakes people! :-( I agree with Karen-you should do a total DO OVER!
ReplyDeleteI loved your prompt and I hope I did it justice! XO!
I got over it a few days. My dad did a real birthday party for me lol. But I wanted the temper of the 8 year old so I didn't mention it.
DeleteHaha that is EXACTLY what goes on in an 8 year old girl's brain!!! Nailed it!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I wanted. Lol.
DeleteLOL!!!! This cracks me up! We've had joint parties for the kids and they HAD to have their own cakes! We learned our lesson on that one real quick! I think you nailed it perfectly! Great job with your prompt! I love how you wrote it from an 8 year old's perspective instead of just re-telling it yourself. Very creative!!!
ReplyDeleteSharing cake with a boy is just wrong (no matter what age!) This was a very cute take on the prompt. I hope you were able to turn 10 with out a seven year old :)
ReplyDeleteI totally laughed - my cousin is 364 days younger than me. HE and I always had birthday parties together when I was younger and even though I was a tom-boy - I wanted the girly SEPARATE CAKE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have one that is almost 8 - well - half way there - and as you're writing - I swear it's what she is saying!!
Love your response to the SS prompt!!!
Hilarious! And so, so, so true. Why would anyone want to share a cake? No mater what age! There's never enough cake. But I'm glad you got some new dolls and money. Money. Best. Present. Ever.
ReplyDeleteI'm the oldest of 4. I have a half brother and two step sister.
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is 12/10. One step sister's birthday is 12/9 and the other's is 12/10.
3 girls, all with practically the same birthday, 15 days before Christmas...........
That sucked....
I feel so sorry. You can join in my pity party lol.
DeleteI love how you told the story like an 8 year old; I could totally envision you stomping your little 8 year old foot; the nerve of those people!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping the readers would see it that way lol.
