you're only sixteen, but you're my teenage dream.

[enamoured]

I wanna slap all those brat girls on My Supersweet 16. Girls, PLEASE. When I turned sixteen, I didn't even have a damn party. And if I had, it WOULDN'T have cost upwards of $50,000! Sixteen IS NOT THE PINNACLE OF YOUR LIFE, GET OVER IT. The only thing that happens at sixteen is that you're able to legally obtain a driver's license, and in some states, you have reached the age of consent. But you are STILL a minor and you STILL can't drink or buy cigarettes.

If I ever got rich, God knows I'd try not to let my kids know it. I mean, sure, I'd give them the things I might not have had, but I'd try not to spoil them rotten or let them think that the whole would would be completely enamoured with them. And God knows I wouldn't let them spend more than $100 on a godforsaken birthday party. God. What is WRONG with people?

I think it's just the idea of it because 15 and 16 in a lot of cultures are those acents into adulthood. Here in the US, it's just an excuse to party.

I had a Sweet Sixteen party. But it was like, $20 worth of food at my house and like, 10 people. There was a cake fight that ended with a smear of frosting on the bathroom door that I had to clean up the next morning.

Frankly, no expensive shin dig could have topped that.

a cake fight sounds like FUN. Hee!

We do it every year when me and my two friends throw our joint party! This year it was toned down because it was a dressy dinner party and no one wanted to get fantastically dirty like in past years (I and mean we got dirty).

But the cake fight still happened! And it's on the intinerary for next year's get together too!
