That's What I Said
"A fellow first-time parent of a nearly one-year-old, that's who."
Said by me in response to the question: "Who brings vodka as a gift to a one-year-old's birthday party?"
(To be clear, the vodka was for his parents, in celebration of making it through their first year of parenting--not for the baby.)
Happy first birthday Brady! I've loved watching you grow over this past year and so far you're still on track for becoming our future son-in-law. Keep up the big smiles and those stock market investments, and in thirty years we'll talk. Love you little man!

OH, at first I thought you were knocking the person that brought Vodka and I'm thinking, can you invite those parents to MY parties?
Wait until the kid turns two, buy like fifty bottles of vodka!
I have 4 month old twins and I was just thinking I'm going to start bring parents a bottle of wine for their children's first birthday because they deserve something too for surviving the first year!
My husband and I bought a really good bottle of champagne on our honeymoon and were going to crack it open for our 5 year anniversary a couple months ago, but we thought by the twins first birthday, we'd deserve it even more!
Vodka for the parents of a one year old... absolutely the perfect gift :) Our neighbors had a "kids" party in the afternoon and broke out the keg once the kids were in bed... perhaps slightly inappropriate, but parents need a little fun too!
Tequila is an appropriate gift for the 2nd birthday..... just saying....
I'd love that gift, especially if it came with a babysitter for the morning after.

Haha!
Your post put a HUGE smile on my face!
I think it is a perfect gift!
LOL, thanks for your comments everyone!
@Carazy Mom--Wait. I thought gin was for the 2nd birthday... Where's Emily Post when you need her??
@jbhat--A morning-after babysitter would have been the perfect accompaniment. I totally dropped the ball on that one.
My daughters preschool teachers get alcohol from us every year for Christmas and the end of the year. It even comes with a little note that says "Don't worry, she makes us want to drink sometimes too! Drink up and enjoy the holiday season!"
LOL
You are hilarious, and I love the comments on this post!!!
ahahahaha! love it!
@Ryan--Oh I love that!! I would copy it for our daycare provider, but she doesn't drink, which is hard to believe in my opinion. If anyone deserves a drink at the end of the day it's an in-home daycare provider!
