There are a whole host of ways that all of you use to get the word out about events you’re planning. Facebook, Twitter, mailed invitations, and emails are just a few. For those of us that are new parents, we have no use for any of these. While the rest of you are meticulously compiling your invitation lists and filling out cards, we take the easy road. Whenever I need to gather I crowd, I call up a family member or friend and tell them when and where HumorMD Jr. will be on a particular evening. The results are stunning. News like the latitude and longitude of an infant spreads like wildfire. Before you know it, you are turning away Grandma at the door because the fire marshal has shown up to your home.
An excellent example of this happened this past weekend (we won't even talk about Thanksgiving yesterday). After church, we took little man over to his in-laws to hang out for awhile. A family member called to see if he was there, and I kept track of what happened next. After hanging up on that call, there were no fewer than eight cars at the house within one hour. Cars were parked on the side of a major road near the house. Some people starting waving palm leaves given our upcoming holiday season (made that part up).
Hopefully this gives you some idea of the celebrity status a newborn experiences. We are working on a business plan to help HumorMD Jr. monetize this and contribute to his college fund. We’ll call it Infantations. Instead of mailing all those invites, we’ll just tell all of your guests that a group of 10 babies will be present at the time and location of your event. No hassle. No fuss. 100% attendance guaranteed. Just make sure you don’t run out of food. HumorMD Jr. doesn’t like to be associated with low class events like that.
