The Day Loot Bags Died

We were discussing plans for my birthday.

9-10-11-12 years old.  I can't remember anymore, but my old blog says that I was about to be 12 or something like that.

Oodles, my mom, was throwing out various plans and suggestions.  She was being my cheery, ever-enthusiastic mom.  I was being what a growing pre-teen was supposed to be.

She suggested: how about a party with loot bags?

"What do you think I am mom?  Twelve is old enough to drive in the Philippines."  I thought in my head.

I said something to the effect of a resounding no probably mixed with some slight derision with the idea that my response would completely snuff out that idea.  

It worked.
