Not Enough Theme Party? Or Too Much Theme Party?

Have you ever thought of a theme party for your children? If you have, I bet it was really fun. But when I look at this catalog, they are driving theme birthdays over the limit.

Okay here, we have a shark fin costume accessory, which fits on your back like a backpack. A shark fin headband which doesn't even go on right. Shark Dangling Swirls. We have shark attack kites. I bet you're getting the point now. ALL THIS STUFF IS SHARK-RELATED.

STOP! This shark stuff is driving me crazy. After you look at this catalog, all you can think is Shark and all you can see is blue. So, you're talking to your friend after you look at this catalog, "Hey dudeSHARK, do you wannaSHARK go buySHARK somethingSHARK at the SHARK."

Why do moms even do this? I mean, let's say the theme is wooden crafts. The kid would obviously get a bunch of plastic tools and a hardhat. "Why not?" The mom thinks. It's really too much.

Now, if I was throwing a birthday party, I'd probably put a little theme in. I would probably do an Electronics themes. Like, the cake would be decorated with green and white circuits, made of frosting. I'd give away little plush robots and we would play whatever my child would want to play because it's his birthday party. It's not like okay, can we play Circuit Here Circuit There? No! We're playing Don't Touch The Floor! But I wanted to..NO! WE'RE PLAYING DON'T TOUCH THE FLOOR DAMMIT!

I mean, if you're throwing birthday parties, make sure they aren't too heavy, and they're easy to catch.
