Well, I survived last night's party. We ended up cutting 3 birthday cakes complete with singing, slicing and serving throughout the night. The first cake was for M's sister's 60th, then they decided to do one for M's mom who will be 79 Jan 4th, then they did one for M's nephew who is 18 today. (My niece in California is also 15? today.) L got into a religious fight with her uncle and her grandma, which I did not witness. Her uncle told her it was a shame she didn't attend church every Sunday which he does and she took offence to that. He's far from what you could call Godly. Then her grandma argued about who her godparents really were, but she was the one who was mistaken. Then M walked into the room and berated them all for upsetting his daughter. My take on this is that it's all in the family and thank goodness I wasn't involved. Everyone enjoyed the new basement.
I took L for her tennis match earlier on that evening. She was just there for the experience as she was trounced by her opponent. But I had an interesting conversation with her mom for the 45 minutes that we sat together. We talked about urban growth, the benefits of sport for kids, then she offered some profound advice. She said that basically, for a young girl, it doesn't matter what great job you end up getting, it all boils down to who you marry. That could either make you happy or ruin your life. But she couldn't offer any insight as to how to go about picking this 'right' person. (-:
