Birthday Bash

We had Dee’s Birthday party this past week. I can’t believe she’s fourteen. She wanted to decorate the house for the party and I was more than happy to let her handle that. We found the cutest cake.

She had eight of her friends over. We’d told her when she turned 14 she could start wearing makeup so we had her Aunt bring a Mary Kay Rep over and do makeovers on the girls.

They got some instruction on how to properly apply age appropriate makeup and got to put on makeup and take home some fun “goody bags” filled with some of the things they’d tried on. Hopefully they enjoyed it. I know if I was a fourteen-year-old girl I’d been thinking, “Score!”

After the makeovers the girls headed downstairs while we cleaned up. A few minutes later I heard Dee say, “Whoever that big black bag belongs to, you may find some gum in it.” We turned around and looked at her. The bag belonged to the Mary Kay Rep. Dee continued, “My friend was trying to spit her gum in the garbage and it landed in your bag. I just thought I should tell you.”

The lady pulled everything out of her bag and sure enough down at the bottom was a chewed piece of gum. Fortunately, it was “hard” and hadn’t stuck to anything. The lady thanked Dee for telling her. Imagine finding that little treasure a few days later and wondering where it came from.
