I'd fall down on my knees and thank whatever gods came up with a cupcake ban for two reasons 1) my kid doesn' tneed any more freaking cupcakes -- cupcakes x 30 kids in the class adds up to 30 cupcakes that she didn't need to be eating - she's a big kid with a sugar jones you wouldn't believe 2) I hate absolutely anythig to do with the dreaded class party -- I can barely summon enough enthusiasm to buy some cupcakes at the grocery store let along BAKE THEM (which is something I would never do)
good riddance say I -- let them sing happy birthdya and be done with it.
