high society

Lil Petunia attended the birthday/slumber party of one of her BFFs last night. Above is one of two mermaid mosaics that are at the outside entrance to her friend's home. They are so beautiful and, due to the fact that I love shells and I love mermaids, I tend to gaze at them every time I visit their home. Aren't they pretty? Now I want shell mermaid mosaics on the outside of my house, too, although it might look a teensy bit ridiculous. Perhaps on the back patio by the pool?? On this particular home right on the ocean they look splendid!
For dinner the girls were taken to The Breakers Hotel. While they were there, the birthday girl's mother called me to ask if it would be okay if the girls' watched "Hairspray" due to the fact that it is a PG movie. At the end of our conversation she asked me if I would like to speak with Lil Petunia. I said well, sure, if she wasn't in the middle of something, to which the Mom responded "Oh, no! She's right here--hold on!" So, Lil Petunia gets on the phone and the first words out of her mouth (much to my horror) are:
"Mommy! This place is SO GREAT! It is EVEN BETTER THAN CHUCK E. CHEESE'S!!!" .......

OMG. Did my daughter just scream that out loud in front of the birthday girl's mom in the middle of The Breakers?? Yes. She did. I am mortified. If you remember this post, then you know that I take my daughter to only the finest dining establishments in Palm Beach County.
(It turns out that what she meant is that The Breakers has a game room even better than CEC.)
When I went to pick her up today Lil Petunia and her two besties were still having so much fun being together that I took them out to lunch at Hamburger Heaven.  During the car ride there Lil Petunia suggested that we have lunch at The Breakers instead!  Ha!  Ummm...no.  We had to drive right in front of The Breakers on the ride to HH, so all three girls started squealing with delight when they saw the hotel.
