Partay!

by carolynholm

Dear Mommy,
So as I understand it, we need some of these red cups to have a party.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
Only if you are having a frat party, honey. Normal people use regular glassware at their parties.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
But red cups are so festive!!!!!!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
Are you planning a party?
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
Maybe.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
That sounds evasive. Now I’m getting worried. What exactly are you up to?
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
New Year’s!!!!!!! It’s time to plan the New Year’s party!!!!!!! Time for us to PARTAY!!!!!!!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
Well, okay. Who were you planning to invite?
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
Invite? NO, no, no, we don’t want to invite anyone. We don’t want anyone to come and mess up our party!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
That is an unusual point of view. So, when you say “we”, just who else is planning this with you? And what do you intend to do at this party?
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
So many questions! Poppy and Puffin are partying with me. And we’re going to ring in the New Year by running up and down the stairs, and ambushing Poppy from under the bed, and scampering through the kitchen when you aren’t expecting it. We’ll get Poppy all worked up so she’s barking and skidding on the wood floor!!!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
And you’re sure Poppy and Puffin are on board with this?
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
Seriously? They LOVE my parties!!!!! We’re going to have a blast!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
It does sound like an exciting party, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
You can run around too if you like!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
I’m looking forward to it. I’m sure it will be the best New Year’s party ever!
Love, Carolyn
