The actual judo part of the judo party was cool. The kids got to fight adults.
During the freeform food part afterward I was reminded of parents going to things purely because I wanted to go. Sort of reminiscent of when I went to kid birthday parties and didn’t want to talk to anyone, but at those you could get away with talking about school stuff for a little bit, then looking at your phone. I felt really like whoa don’t look at your phone here. So, I talked to one dad then allowed myself to look at the phone.
Anyway, I guess it’s been a while since I’ve gone to a thing like that, so it was time to pay the piper.
