Raining cats and dogs: A different kind of children's birthday party - WalletPop Blog

Raining cats and dogs: A different kind of children's birthday party - WalletPop Blog: "The evening of the party was gray and drizzly. Perhaps it affected attendance. 'Only' 50 children came. From her cheerleader microphone, the 6-year-old party girl invited 'cash donations for our animal friends.' The bucket read, 'Any donations would be purr-fect.'

You can be sure that it gave Addie Gardiner far more than yet another dizzying array of Made-in-China toys. You can also be sure that she didn't 'go without' on her birthday.

'That's what grandparents are for,' her mother remarked, laughing."
