Birthday sorting

[stgulik]

My daughter's 15th birthday is coming up, and she's trying to settle on a theme for a party here at our house. Last night at dinner, she and her friend Jessica kicked around the idea of a Harry Potter theme, possibly combined with a movie marathon. The groom and I waxed enthusiastic at the idea. We could turn the front door into Platform 9 3/4! We could sort the party guests into houses! He and I immediately got into a sidebar discussion about wiring a Sorting Hat with a microphone. In the process, we probably scared away our client, i.e., the birthday girl. You remember how scary it used to be when the adults in your life Got Hold of a Good Idea.

That would be awesome! Can I have my next birthday party at your house?! No, seriously, can I? You and your husband could plan it all and I can just show up! I don't even have to know the people in attendance, I just want the Harry Potter theme!!

I like your attitude, young 'pastel. Maybe we should swap you for our daughter and throw you a Harry Potter-themed birthday party!

Can I crash Pink's party as well? I'll bring my kid's Quidditch outfit...

I am totally up for that! You better start planning now, because July is just around the corner. And I will be turning 24 this year, so make sure you have enough candles for the cake!

I wouldn't know. The adults when I was a kid never had any good ideas. ;)

I fear that's my daughter's problem as well.
