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."

Barrow boys and girls race to record | theage.com.au

Barrow boys and girls race to record | theage.com.au: "IT RESEMBLED nothing so much as a chaotic re-enactment of a failed Dardanelles charge of enemy trenches, but in 30 seconds students of Carey Baptist Grammar School claimed the world record for the largest human wheelbarrow race.

In so doing, the school raised funds for two charity programs. One suspects some of the funds might be redeployed for a consignment of oxygen tents and hernia trusses for the 80 or so students who fell in battle, the finishing line an unobtainable horizon."
