Holiday Countdown: Day 2 - Momma Bear Edition
When I first read this submission I wasn’t convinced Laura was in the wrong. What if little Kayla had been looking forward to her birthday party at the Children’s Museum for months, only for it to be trampled by strangers because of some Santa/reindeer event that’s free for the whole city? I found myself thinking, “Well, damn, I might just be agreeing with a “momma bear” for once! Screw the Children’s Museum!” But then I went back and read the submitter’s email. Here’s what it said:
“Laura is very upset at a local museum for having a free day on the same day she booked her daughter’s birthday party and not telling her. This is a tiny museum in the falling apart city of Flint, Michigan. I found this on their website: “Dec. 10th from 5-7pm is our big “Celebration of Community”. It’s a free event, with fun and festive activities for the family. We’ll have a Capella singers, pictures with Santa, a live reindeer, African Drum and Dance Group, a great big tree lighting, hot cocoa, cider, and donuts, all at the museum! Everyone in the community is invited and encouraged to attend. Free admission from 5-7pm; a donation for Toys for Tots and The Food Bank of Eastern Michigan requested, not required.”
I highly doubt the birthday party is that late at night. Maybe she should do research before going crazy on the museum. And it’s a freaking fundraiser! I would say, “Hey everyone, come to my baby’s party and instead of bringing a gift for her, donate it to Toys for Tots and stay afterwards for their celebration.” Oh and it’s her daughter’s 1st birthday party.”
