If you give a girl a birthday party

If you give a girl a birthday party, she's going to want a costume.  And if she wants a costume, she's going to want to be a mermaid. 


Since she's going to be a mermaid she's going to want some makeup.  And odds are when she asks her Nana for makeup, it's going to be sparkly.  She'll get it on her eyes.  Her little sister will want some too.  After she gets her costume and her makeup, she's going to want to decorate.  And if she asks two grandmas to decorate, it's going to be really awesome.  She will have streamers and shells and jewels and whatchamacallits.   It'll be like the ocean.    

 
Now once it's all decorated, she's going to want treasures.  So Grandma will get a treasure chest to fill with all kinds of treasures.  But she'll have so many treasures she will have to invite more people.  Her aunt and uncles and friends will come   


And if she invites more people, she's going to need some helpers.  Those helpers will need costumes.  And then she'll need some food.  So her grandpa and daddy will need to go to the store.  And she'll need plates to put her food on.  After the food, she's going to get thirsty. So she'll need her grandma to make some lemonade.  And then she'll ask for a straw.  And it will have to be pink with a princess on it. 






After her food she will want dessert, and that means cake.   If she gets a cake, of course she will need candles.  And after she blows them out, she'll have to open her presents.  Opening presents will be so much fun, she will want to change her outfit.  



When she changes her costume she'll want to play outside.  And if she plays outside, she will want to ride her new bicycle.  And wear her brand new converse shoes.  While riding her brand new bike, she's going to want some roads.  So her uncles will  draw some chalk streets.  

 








When they start drawing roads, she's going to want a park with a pond.  Then she's going to start thinking about being a mermaid swimming in that pond.  And chances are, if she thinks about a mermaid, she's going to want another party.
