Very Amusing...

[PUZZLDY5]

Before I start let me say that my mother is a VERY conservitive, very proper kind of woman. Not to mention she is almost 70 years old. This is inportant information for the following.....

About a week ago she called and asked me to bake a cake for her to take to a desert party. I thought aww that is sweet a bunch of little ol women are getting together to try each others deserts.

This evening she calls me to rimind her about her Sugar and Spice Party. Umm. What??
This is how the conversatoin went:

Mom: Don't forget about my cake for my sugar and spice party.
Me: What?
Mom: My party on Saturday.
Me: Mother!! Do you know what a Sugar and Spice party is!
Mom: It's a desert party isn't it?
Me: NO!

I then had to proceed to explain to her what these parties consist of.

The funny part about this is almost every woman that was invited to this party is over the age of 60!
All I can imagine is a bunch of elderly women showing up with cakes and cookies getting the surprise of their life!

Maybe not funny to some and I apologize if I offend anybody. I personaly thought this was hilarious.

I'm not familiar with a Sugar and Spice party but I'm pretty sure I want an invite.

I admit I had to google it, but you're right. I had an image of these little old ladies with their hands full of baked goods in lace trimmed floral dresses going when the hostess brought out the merchandise.

What I wanna know is who is the hostess that invited all her friends to this party and does SHE know what kind of party she's throwing?

I don't know about you guys but my Mom is 67 years old and would be glad to host a Sugar n' Spice party. She out does me on the dance floor, in the dirty joke department, and shops likes shes 20 years old.... maybe it's just me, but I don't think "almost 70" is anything to shake a bootie at anymore

 

[JessicaR]

I googled too. I was immediately reminded of Made of Honor- Grandma wearing glow in the dark necklace.

Ohhh, just went back to read your post...very conservative and proper??? Well, maybe it's time to live a little

Okay,what's your mother's favorite desert? Gobi,Sahara,or Mojave?

I have NO idea. I'll be willing to bet that the phone lines are ringing off the hook though.

You must give us an update after the party!

This reminds me of my grandpa taking a date to see Oh! Calcutta! on Broadway years ago because he thought, based on the name, that it was a show about India. Needless to say, they didn't stay very long.

 

[Silent1CB]

Another one who's never heard that term for a party. Going to google now. I'm wondering why hostess would invite her conservative friends if its what I think it is.

Definately

I don't know about your mom, but I think it is beyond hysterical when people in their 20s and 30s talk about those of us in our 50s and 60s like we don't have sex. Let's see -- no little kids to interrupt, no fear of pregnancy, lots of experience . . .

 

[sunnyday123]

Can you imagine if she didn't mention to you the name of the party??

I can see them all now, playing the Alphabet Game..... Although, I must say, the last time I went to one, a co-worker in her late 50's came up with a word for Q!!!

my aunt and cousin were cleaning at my great-aunts and saw things that she could have bought at one of those parties. and the great-aunt was 92 years old!!

Seriously!

OMG, 60 yr old "little old ladies"? My mother's 87, and she barely thinks of herself as a little old lady!

There's only one nasty thing I can think of. Eww...

So funny. So true. I stopped taking for granted what the older set knew, was interested in, etc. when I found sex books in my grandmother's attic.

Knowing my Mom, she would die if she went to one of those parties and didn't know what it was before hand. I would laugh hysterically and would love to be there to see it. She would be all shades of red!
