• The 12 Do’s and Don’ts of Throwing Your Kid’s Birthday Party

  DO serve food and drink, making sure to account for all your guests and their parents.   DON’T serve booze. At my son’s second birthday, my friend got wasted which made him a great clown for the kids. What was not so good was when it was time to blow the candles and my friend joking added, “get ‘em all in one blow, ya little f****t!” My mom and Nicole’s parent got a real kick out of that.

• Baby Born Drunk

  I, like anyone else, enjoy a drink now and then. But I usually wait until after 5p.m. or until, you know, after I've been born. Clearly one infant girl couldn't wait to tie one on because she came into the world totally smashed. How drunk was this newborn? Try three times the legal limit (provided she came out of the womb driving an El Camino). A Polish baby girl recently came in to the world with a .29 blood alcohol level. To put that in perspective, that level would be like you drinking 2 and 1/3 bottles of wine... Read More...
