I’m Not Guilty of My Pleasure Last Night

I attended last night the18th birthday celebration of the daughter of my classmate in high school. It is true that the foods were really tempting but I was able to hold my promise that I won’t indulge that much and I did. Thankfully, there are many attendees and my focus was not on the food in the table but with greetings and small talks to old familiar faces during high school days that were also there (this tip was mentioned by @rsa101 ). Majority of the visitors were also teens mostly classmates and friends of the debutante. We just give them the night and we adults have also our time in our table talking about lives, things in the past, and plans on the upcoming alumni homecoming next month.

@ZedSmart I think it's okay to indulge yourself sometimes and besides, it's not always a party.

@JustBhem Yes, maybe occasionally. I'm aware this time that I was attending the kind of dinner in the past weeks.

Yes, I am too but now I need to be watchful on my intake. I'm not getting young any longer.

It's always a blast when former classmates from long ago meet up in a gathering. There will always be talks about the medicine maintenance, how many children and reminiscing of the happy and funny time during those school days.

@ZedSmart That is why whenever our batch would invite for a get together, I always go. It makes me so happy attending them. So, you must also always attend the gathering of your friends.

Very true. It's almost a never ending of story telling.

It was like a two generations meeting. And in fact, it is two generations that don't see life the same way. Two generations that don't like the same kind of music, or that don't share the same life interests, etc. You guys did well to give them the night and sit aside talking on a table. Some parents in this kind of situation would misbehave by leading the party or by trying to impose their tastes on teens. I really appreciate what you did by letting them enjoy themselves alone. But out of that, how did you find the teens way to have fun during the party?

You are right. Well, about the teens?. I would say that while we celebrate it relatively the same way several years back for fun, a difference is that teens are more vocal and expressive nowadays.

In my case my whole hearted attention would be on the food and thinking in my mind when I can jump onto them

That's not a problem if you have no health issues.
