That can't be right!!!
One of Thomas' friends had a birthday party today after school. The friend's mother asked if she could just take Thomas home with her from school and he'd go to the party place with her and his friend. I agreed that he'd go with them and I'd pick him up. This was a newly opened kids' party place which we'd never been to. I checked the address on the invitation before leaving home to get Thomas. I get a great parking spot right in front of the given address. I put money in the meter and head to the party place. I'm standing in front of the address on the invite (or as I remember it anyhow) and there's a problem - it's a cigar store!! I know kids are sophisticated these days but I'm pretty sure the party isn't being held in a cigar store/lounge!!lolol I'm starting to panic a bit and calling Directory Assistance when I see another parent from Thomas' class... apparently, it's not that I recalled the address incorrectly, it's that the address is wrong! The other parent tells me he's got the invitation in his car which has the phone number to the party place so we head down the block to his car - as we reach his car, we notice a new sign with the name of the party place - the birthday boy's mother had put the last two digits as 99 instead of 69... thank goodness we haven't reached the point where 9 year olds are having parties in cigar lounges!!lolol

That's embarrassing for the mom...can't you just picture it ~ build-a-cigar instead of build-a-bear!
That could SO easily happen to me. Good to know presedence has been set.
