A's soon-to-be 3 year old son is having a birthday party tomorrow, and A has invited several of us adults to join in on the fun, mostly because A would like to spend at least part of the time conversing with actual adults. Keeping in mind we have been encouraged to wear socks in case we'd like to climb on the jungle gym.
A's son apparently loves Disney and cars (and probably Cars by inference). I'm not so sure I want to schlep all the way to the mall this evening, which leaves tomorrow morning to obtain a gift. Furthermore, I intend to spend tomorrow morning at several grocery stores because I would really like to eat Chinese vegetables this week instead of pasta. Oh, and it's the Dragon Boat holiday and my only opportunity this year to get the really good, Cantonese-style rice tamales with the fatty pork. They freeze really well. The rest of the year, they tend to sell only the Taiwanese and Shanghainese styles, which are tasty, but not the same.
(The reason for visiting several grocery stores is one sells the Chinese vegetables, another sells frozen phyllo dough, the third is Trader Joe's, and yet another is a new Japanese one and therefore is totally unexplored territory. Well, that's assuming the Japanese one is where I think it is.)
Considering the boy loves cars, would it be inappropriate to buy him an air freshener?
