Betty At The Party
“When I was at the party,”
Said Betty, aged just four,
“A little girl fell off her chair
Right down upon the floor;
And all the other little girls
Began to laugh, but me –
I didn’t laugh a single bit,”
Said Betty seriously.
“Why not?” her mother asked her,
Full of delight to find
That Betty – bless her little heart! –
Had been so sweetly kind.
“Why didn’t you laugh, my darling?
Or don’t you like to tell?”
“I didn’t laugh,” said Betty,
“‘Cause me it was that fell.”
I think one of the coolest parties I ever went to as a kid was a punk party in the early 80s. It was held in a little room over a library, covered in sheets and graffed liberally. Everyone pitched in to look as punk as possible, and the costumes were amazing, and most of the music played was punk. Pinning a tail to a donkey with The Clash on is a pretty cool thing to do as an 8 year-old. A couple of girls came in full on disco flares and ‘fro wigs – they were shunned by the vast majority. I don’t condone such behaviour, but dressing up brings out another side to a person at a party, I guess….
What’s your favourite party costume/theme?
