Pocket Change

Tomorrow we are having my son's 6th birthday party, classic Mario Brothers , his favorite. I found out this week that 6 is now a mile marker birthday, to be in the ranks of 16 & 21. TLC has a new reality show (like we need another) called 'Outrageous Kids Parties," and their premier this week was of a mom who spent $32,000 on her daughter's 6 yr birthday. And amazingly she spent that much without her husbands knowledge, their budget for the shindig was a modest $15,000, but she said her daughter wanted the best. Granted, it was a fairy tale birthday theme complete with a cinderella replica horse drawn carriage, costumes for each of the 2000 guests and a 9 tier cake. Evidently the fairy princess theme is very in right now- Mariah Carey spent $20,000 a peice on carriage baby beds for her soon to be born twins. She has spent a mere $1,000,000 to date on the two bundles of joy due this spring. Truly part of me is amazed and bedazzled by the thought of that much money being spent on someone's child ( or maybe just the thought of that much money in general). But in the end it has just made me very sad....I know you know where I am going with this :-). It probably could have saved a third world country, and if it had been me, I would have used it for... Hmmm, paying bills, and other 'outrageous' things like that! Lol
