Party time

I feel sorry these days for Skibo. Although he and Boo are in parallel classes at the same school, (both having the same age range of students, the same number of students, etc), it appears that Boo is getting invited to about six or seven times as many birthday parties as he is. Over the past three weeks she's had five invitations, two per weekend, to his none.
And given the modern tendency at kids parties to give the guests grab-bags of minigifts as they leave, we can't just assume that he'd be welcome (or really even ask if he'd be welcome) in most cases.
So, while LOML or I take Boo off to have fun at a party, the other of us stays and tries to do something fun with him. It's not always easy, and he often resents the fact that he can't go along.....

But we are trying...

Yours, feeling the unfairness of it all,
