AE bingo!

grammarpolice2000

Who wants to write a post asking about hosting one's own second shower so we can play AE bingo? We'll make cards with all the classics and check them off one by one. First to get three in a row wins!

Here's my first draft phrase list. Who has more?

1. This isn't the 1950s!
2. I just want to celebrate the baby!
3. Participating in the raffle is totally optional!
4. It's the norm in my circle!
5. A card doesn't cost more than a book!
6. Duh, a month isn't enough time to finish my shopping!
7. I'll be so uncomfortable at 36 weeks that I need my shower sooner!
8. You ladies are mean snotty bishes...
9. And I feel sorry for your husbands and kids and dogs and families!

Help me out: which cliches did I forget?

Do what you want! Don't let these bitchy women tell you what to do!

BARF. I really think people need to realize the slogan on the BSB siggy pic is true! I was just invited to a bachelorette party where we were all told to wear blue for photo ops.

But doesn't every baby deserve to be celebrated?

Anything remotely translatable to "You don't know mah lyfe!!!" It's amazing the women who think they're exempt from the rules of etiquette because of one small detail in their story- kids born X number of years apart (second shower), nobody within 1000

- How do I make sure people only shop off my registry.  I spent hours on it and made it for a reason.

- How do I make sure people don't buy us plastic crap?  Snowflake will only play with organic, sustainable-harvested wooden toys and u

"I don't understand how anyone could NOT help plan their OWN baby shower?!"

"I'm only helping because my host doesn't have a lot of time/money and I feel bad..."

 

A couple of my faves.

Great idea!

- "I thought this was a place for support."

Something about hormones...either "I'm hormonal" or "you guys are just hormonal bishes!"

"Instead of a second shower, I am throwing my husband a diaper man party!"

Don't forget, "they did it for my friend and everyone thought it was a great idea" and "I would never be friends with someone who would talk behind my back".
