My Little Prankster

This past weekend we celebrated Ella’s 11th Birthday a week early! She has been counting down to this, as she just loves her birthday and celebrating with friends. She wanted to start her party here at the house and then after cupcakes and presents we would head to the theatre to see Lego Batman!

A few months ago, Ella and I came across a fun article about silly things you could do to get reactions out of people. She loved all of them and has been begging to do some! She really wanted to do one of them at her birthday party since her friends and family would be there all at the same time!

The moment had come! We had just passed out the cupcakes and fruit and everyone was chatting and eating. Ella asks me loudly if she could get a different snack, she didn’t want any more of her cupcake. I told her since it was her party, sure, she could have anything she wanted. She proceeded to walk to the fridge and pull out our giant Costco Miracle Whip Container and walked back to the table. Already she had a few reactions from adults that had seen her. “Is that mayo she just grabbed?”

She sat back down in her chair, opened the top and put in her big spoon to get a bite. By now she had all of her guests just staring at her. “Are you really going to eat that?”, “Gross”, “I can’t even watch”, as well as lots of gag noises! She ate spoon after spoon fighting back her laughter!

I decided to add my own fun and mention to her friends from school, “Have you not seen her bring this as one of her school snacks? She eats it all the time!” and to her dance friends, “She once ate an entire container between dances at a competition!” The looks were priceless!

Finally Ella blurted out to everyone that it was really Vanilla Pudding! Everyone had a great laugh! She was very convincing and was pleased with her little act! 🙂

Overall it was a great party! She has such a wonderful group of friends and family, I just love celebrating with them all! It was a great day!
