Last week we went to dinner for our friend’s birthday. He was very grumpy that he was turning 39 and so we couldn’t say the “b” word. It kind of felt like one of those situations where everyone was trying to be overly p.c. You know, like when you call someone who is retarded, handi-capable or a short dude becomes vertically challenged. Well we couldn’t say “birthday” so we kept referring to it as Ryan’s “special day.” It was ridiculous but then so again was our group. Somehow while in the process of consuming way too many martinis for a new mother, Ryan (A GUY) throws out this great baby shower tip.
First, you know the baby shower game where you hand out clothes pins to all of the ladies when they arrive and if they say “baby” you get to snake their clothes pin. The person with the most clothes pins wins. Well Ryan said that if you say “cute” at a couple shower you have to drink (a shot or whatever other adult beverage you are consuming.) Everyone ends up having a ball which is amazing because men hate couples showers. No hate mail on this one, you are not going to convince me that men like showers.
