Birthday Parties

Famous quotes containing the words birthday and/or parties:

“Some days your hat’s off to the full-time mothers for being able to endure the relentless routine and incessant policing seven days a week instead of two. But on other days, merely the image of this woman crafting a brontosaurus out of sugar paste and sheet cake for her two-year-old’s birthday drives a stake through your heart.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

“Hostesses who entertain much must make up their parties as ministers make up their cabinets, on grounds other than personal liking.”
