Magic
Birthday Celebration (Your Kids)
Definition
Have you ever tried shoving a dozen balloons into the trunk of your car? It’s like playing a game of whack-a-mole, but you get no prize. How about copying and pasting email addresses for the whole class into your online invitation? Time suck. These are just illustrations of the many tasks you’ll handle when planning your child’s birthday party. Even if you keep it simple with a family dinner at home, this cardholder might be the one who battles rush-hour traffic to pick up a cake at a favorite bakery before it closes. Don’t forget candles, but no need to buy a present unless you’re also the “Gifts (Family)” lead.
