Dear Ann,
When did playdates get so fancy? I have fun with my playdate
group, but lately it has become less about tiring the kiddos out and more about
showing off a pinterest level snack buffet. Organic homemade health muffins?
Strawberries cut into bunnies? What happened to just bringing some crackers,
sometimes?
-Sad Bag of Snacks
Dear Sad Bag,
I have no idea how this happened, but can I be invited, like
right now? I’m hungry and all I have in the house is old tortillas and dead
lettuce. Keep attending these playdates and eat all the delicious food. Enjoy it.
Take some home. Stuff it in your son’s pockets so it looks like he’s the
culprit. Serve it to your husband and say you made it. See how long you can get
away with it before they notice. When it’s finally your turn to host a
playdate, drop a hunny at Whole Foods and dump everything onto your cutest
plates and say you made it all.
Don’t be jealous of their snacks. Remember, you’re the pretty one.
Ciao.
PS. Old tortillas microwaved + dead lettuce + string cheese
is kind of a yummy taco, if you are tired/lazy/reallytired enough.
