Family matters

Also, I was inspired by my son Nico's desires to dress as an invented superhero named 'Blue Face' who wears, among other things, a swimming cap, a knight's hood and H&M monster print pajamas. I decided that 'Blue Face' must be given an opportunity to show his stuff! Surprisingly, the alter ego of 'Blue Face' is a bit apprehensive about my party idea and he has insisted that he be nowhere in sight while I pass out the invitations to his classmates tomorrow. When I asked him why he was feeling embarrassed about the idea, his response was "Well, Mommy, I just think that some of those Catalaners are going to think it's a little weird that you're inviting them to something that is very American in a place that there are going to be A LOT of accents..." Um, okaaaaay.

So what about you guys? Any plans to humiliate your children in a similar fashion to the one I have planned? Like maybe you're thinking about showing up at school lunchtime dressed as a goblin and speaking loudly to all your kid's friends with your best George Bush accent? Or do you have better ideas for how to celebrate (or not) this "very American" holiday? If you need any suggestions, check out the events below!
