I was really looking forward to my BIRTHDAY PARTY
but Mum had to ruin it, didn’t she! She said “I won’t be embarrassing anymore” and
I BELIEVED HER!
If you didn’t know, I’m Judy. I live with my brother
Adam, my adorable little sister Rose and my most embarrassing Mum!
She always likes to wreck EVERYTHING!
And in my party , she was
a Party Pooper!
So let me explain what happened.
I was so excited!
My birthday is March the 9th and all night I was up
Waiting… waiting… waiting…
Every minute felt like an hour, every hour felt like
a year.
2 hours to go… 1 hour to go… 50 minutes to go… 5
minutes to go.
“1 minute to go!” I muttered, excitedly.
“IT’S
MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!”
I screeched, at the top of my lungs.
Rose toddled into my Mums room.
“Sissy woke me up” she whimpered
“Ugh, me too ugh NOODLE POODLE! QUIET DOWN” Mum
yelled.
Rose waddled into my room.
“QUIET
DOWN!” She said, strictly, “OR YOU’LL REGRET
THE DAY YOU WERE BORN!!!”
“I am so sorry” I told her “Also I already do regret
the day I was born, with Mum being so embarrassing and all.”
“What does embarrassing mean?”
“It’s what Mum is. Now go back to bed!” I ordered “Night,
Night!”
“I’ll be back!!” Rose said, hiding her tears.
Then I tried to get some sleep.
In the morning, I was in the middle of dressing myself
in my favourite silver and gold party dress, when Rocket, my dog came rampaging
in!
“Hissssssss!” my cat, Tommy, sneered.
“Oh look at you two. Someday you'll start to like
each other, I do hope so anyway.” I told them.
Later, When the guests were about to arrive, I
finished pampering myself with hair brushes and flowers, plumping up their beds
(it was a sleepover party) and styling up the room.
About ten minutes later, Laura came! She was wearing
a purple skirt and cardigan, a pink T-shirt and some red leggings.
I came to greet her.
Five minutes later, Wendy came, then Kara, then
Alisha all in beautiful outfits. “Oh yeah, gang! Let’s get this party started” Mum
screeched, thinking it was cool.
“Mum” I muttered, angrily. “Why do you have to be so embarrassing?”
“I got you this Princess Colouring set,” Mum said, “it’s
called Pretty Princess Glitter Colour and it’s meant to be really fun.” “No Mum,
we’re just going to play in my room THANK YOU VERY MUCH.”
“Off you go, sweetie pops, have fun!”
We went upstairs and brought out a make-up palette,
some eye liner, blush and lipstick from my drawer. “Here we go,” I said to my friends. After we
had done the make-up we dressed up in denim jackets and cool leggings and
swaggered downstairs for tea.
“Oh my!” Mum gasped when she saw us, “what have you
been doing? I thought you’d just be playing with little dollies and Barbies and
having a fun time but look at you!”
“MUM you know we’re TOO OLD for that stuff. I’m ten
years old now.”
“Well, I guess so. But I think you’re still a little
too young for make up!” Mum cried.
Laura sniggered.
“Laura, shut up”
“Hahahaha”
She whispered something to Wendy, Alisha and Kara.
I couldn't quite hear but I heard them say ‘Judy’.
“Oh, you girls, just go and wash that hideous stuff
of your faces and dress in appropriate clothes… actually, let’s play a game
where I choose your clothes and you wear them ALL DAY!”
“wai..”. I cried but she had already plodded
upstairs.
10 minutes later, she came with some of my clothes
from when I was 3!
She brought Kara a Snow White dress,
Wendy a
Sleeping Beauty dress
and Alisha a Cinderella one!
She got me an Arial dress!
“No” I said
“Yes” Mum said
“I wore these 7 years ago!”
“You’re not wearing inappropriate clothes”
“We’ll change but not in that.”
“Fine”
We slumped upstairs.
Half an hour later, we slumped back down again
wearing regular clothes.
“Well, not what I was hoping for but ok” Mum said,
disappointedly.
Then I saw what she had made for us. Sausage rolls, jelly and ice cream, Nutella sandwiches, party rings,
cucumber, carrots and juice boxes. The cake was the shape of a heart and Mum
had plonked a plastic Barbie on top! The plastic plates said ‘You’re Five
Today!’ and she had crossed out the five and written TEN. The cups said ‘For
the Prettiest Princess’s Birthday Party’. My face burned with embarrassment.
Wendy saw my expression and said:
“It’s OK. The table looks very exciting and
colourful!”
She really loves to make people feel better and is
so kind.
“I’m happy you think so,” I replied.
After lunch, we got face paints and we were about to
go crazy on our faces when Mum suggested she does them! Well I say suggested,
more demanded.
I think you know what she did.
A fairy on Alisha, A unicorn on me, princess on
Wendy and Kara a mermaid!!!
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!
At seven o’ clock, Mum told us it was bedtime!
“Mum, it’s seven 0’ clock!” I mumbled, angrily.
“I know. You little ones need lots of sleep. Go to
bed now or we won't be doing
games tomorrow!” Mum gave me a look I used to give her when I was three! She
always points it out to me saying it was cute!
“I don’t want to do games, Mum!” I replied.
“Well go upstairs anyway!”
“UGH! FINE”
We slumped upstairs.
In bed we went chatting on for about five hours!
Actually quite a lot of it was us doodling and telling each other jokes.
At twelve I crept down stairs and brought up a
little feast! YUM!
In the morning, at 9:00, we got dressed into some of
my clothes and talked our way downstairs.
“Oh, hello cherry poppets! Up already`?” Mum beamed.
“What would you like to eat? I bought us some ‘princess pops’! It’s a new kind
of cereal! Rose loves it!”
“We’ll just have toast and honey.” I said.
“If you insist,” Mum said back.
“Okay, gang, first game, Pass the Parcel!!!” Mum
screeched, after breakfast.
Alisha won and received a ‘Phoebe and Friends’ pencil
case.
‘Phoebe and friends’ is this TV show that Rose
watches all the time! It’s about a princess called Phoebe who is always with
her
four unicorns, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter who
live in fairy kingdom and always tries to save the day by saving someone! The
recommend age is 2-5! We are all ten!
Next we played musical statues! Kara won that and
received some ‘Phoebe and friends’ stickers!
“Mum, couldn't you buy something that isn't ‘Phoebe
and friends’?” I asked.
“Everyone loves ‘Phoebe and friends’.” she replied.
“UGH!”
Then we played musical animals! I won and received
some ‘Phoebe and Friends’ rubbers!!!
Then musical bumps.
Then a dancing competition although she always said
we were all great so we all win.
Then just dancing to princess songs.
“Mum, why don't you ever arrange something good?” I
frowned
Mum looked upset and gasped.
Mum replied “I thought this would be the best party
ever! Don't you like it?”
After ‘games’ we walked outside to the car.
“Sadly, it’s time to go home ‘o clock!” Mum
chattered
All the way in the car, Mum was singing along to
this ‘Phoebe and friends musical’ which has all the songs from Phoebe and
friends movie!!! Rose suggested we listen to that.
Mums voice is awful and sounds screechy like a cat
that got stuck in a washing machine.
“Mammy, you're ruining it!” Rose shouted
“I agree, that horrific singer is a hundred times
better than you!” I said.
“JUDY!!! DO NOT SAY THAT ABOUT YOUR MOTHER’S WONDERFUL
SINGING!!”
Mum gasped.
“Mammy, are you saying that singer is an awful
singer? She's a great singer!” Rose answered.
“You wish!” Laura sniggered
“Hey! She's better than you could do any day!” Rose
replied.
“Not true!” I told her. “Sorry little one.”
“Girls stop squabbling!” Mum looked at us and
frowned “Here we are girls, Wendy, time to get home! Out you get. Here’s your
party
bag!” Mum handed her a plastic bag from the local
groceries shop, Grembiks. “Next stop Laura’s house!”
After everyone had gone and we were back home, Mum
gave Rose a party bag.
“Rose! Can I peak in and see what’s in there?” I
strolled over to her.
“OK”
Inside, there was a tiara, a doll, a stuffed unicorn
and these really babyish sweets called sweetiepops!!
UGH!
The next day, in school, Izzy asked me if my Mum
actually did all that embarrassing stuff!
I asked how she found out and she said Laura told
her!!
She would never come to my next party and that’s for
sure!
I told you! I warned you!
