So, my youngest daughter was in third grade. Just a sleepover with a couple close friends. "Sure, easy...." I thought. What could I throw together last minute for this last minute sleepover? Strawberry smoothies are always a hit. She loves party glasses. So did her friends. The night was fun. A couple weeks later she came home from school crying that she could no longer be friends because of me. How dare I serve her and her friends ALCOHOL. OMG what? No no no. Little did I know the mom was out of town, unaware of the sleepover until she returned. Yes, I made the call of shame to clear this up. We now let parents know of party glasses and the recipe for anything served. It was a nightmare. Be careful when you have friends over.
