I went to a birthday party this past weekend for a three year old. It was contained mayhem — kids running to and fro all hopped up on sugar. I got a kid fix that will last me for quite a while, getting to smooch on my nephew’s belly and play the role of Super Cool Aunt with my Transformers Optimus Prime Voice Changer Helmet.


The helmet is basically completely awesome — making you sound all tough and gravelly. My favorite quote from someone wearing a mask was “Don’t f*ck with a decepticon.” Good fun.
