They Invited Everybody…

…and everybody came.
I don’t know if the latter will hold true, but the former certainly is. Sophie’s entire class is invited to her birthday party tomorrow. No matter what she tells you.
Yesterday afternoon — after the local NPR commentary I did about her birthday was long in the can — my friend Vicki (mother of Anyssa, a classmate of Sophie’s) texted after school:
So, I talked to your daughter and asked her what she wanted for her birthday and she told me that I couldn’t go to her party and I asked her why? And she said because I was a boy! But it’s ok for Anyssa to go! But she gave me a kiss said bye!
Whoops. Someone clearly needed to have another talk with Sophie. In fact, I better go. I see that Ms. X just called.

Happy Birthday Sophie! Hope it’s a fun one.
I just listened to your radio commentary. Tears are streaming down my face. That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing and may Sophie have the best birthday of all.
I can’t believe I caught this piece in *real time* on the radio this morning! Today’s the big party!!!
but who sings the song? I’ve been looking all day!
Sorry! Ambrosia Parsley sings the song; it’s on “For the Kids Too,” a comp of indie musicians doing kid music.
