Showering on Babies Rant

Oh God ... I have to go to a baby shower tonight... This is not good.

I have no objections to blessing and wishing well the mother to be, in this case a friend from college days. A good friend. I will go and bless her and cluck and chat to all the honoured guests. It will be great - I know it.

My objection is not to the party, or the blessing, or the wine (definitely not the wine... lovely stuff). My objection is to the silly games.

I have not had it on any authority at all that there will be silly games... But I have very strong suspicions that there will be ...

I want to know - who decreed that there will be silly games at baby showers? Silly games make girls look silly...

I am not a rampaging feminist by any stretch of the imagination, but I do deplore the loss of dignity when strong, capable, intelligent, grown women play silly baby shower games...

Gah
