Get The Kids Together For A Spaz-Fest

I don’t care for the terms “play date”, “girl’s night out” or “date night.” To me they just cheapen the experience of, kids playing, hanging out with your friends and going out with your guy. They seem like terms made up by an editor of some parenting magazine.

I “do” all of these things, but would rather just let them happen naturally, the only respectable way, planned at the very last possible minute.

These are my approved substitutes:

Get the kids together for a “play date”: Beat Each Other With A Stick-Off, Spaz-Fest, Tell-on-each-other-a-thon or Dirt War.

Let’s all of us girls get together for a “girl’s night out”: Nice Dinner and a Chat, Secret Meeting of the Sisterly Alliance (“SMOTSA”… Going to a SMOTSA) or $15.00 pink cocktail.

My Husband and I are going to have a “date night”: Conversation, Laugh or Dirt War.
