Showering on Babies Rant

September 6, 2004 by

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

    My prayers are with you.

    My sister is having her baby shower this Sunday and there have been whispers (behind her back) of games! Thankfully, as a male, no invite has been forthcoming.
