   Alice, you’re lucky. My dad embarrassed me a lot worse.

   Alice cleans up real pretty! In her party dress and hair-bow, with hair combed, she looks fine! Now if Mom would just ease off a bit….

   I agree! She’s a little sweetie – course, she’ll come back with the bow awry, jam in her hair, face and frock covered with jelly and custard (do they have custard in America? It is the hallmark of gastronomic civilisation), prizes clutched in her tiny fists and an inability to stop talking about what a great time she’s had, who was sick, what Dill’s big brothers did with the cake, how Dill’s dog shook something he rolled in all over the sandwiches and then fall asleep mid-sentence and have to be undressed and put to bed, still clutching her balloon. I love her to bits!

    I got into a “spin the bottle” game when I was about that age. Unfortunately I didn’t appreciate it at the time. The girls seemed to go for it though.

    I don’t believe that jam, jelly and custard are featured at most American birthday parties. Alice would more likely come home with cake frosting all over her face, and chocolate ice cream and soda stains on her dress.
