On Friday, I was trying to remind you or myself of something, but I couldn’t remember what.  There were many helpful suggestions — or, well, there were no helpful suggestions.  But as it happens, right in the preparations for my first teenage birthday party  — and here’s a hint for you parents:  if you have seven fragile-looking, waifish, slender reed-type girls to feed, you need to know that four pounds of strawberries, five pounds of grapes, two enormous bags of chips, a giant veggie and dip platter, five large pizzas, a chocolate cake and two dozen cup cakes with cream cheese frosting is going to just barely be enough food.  I’ve never seen anyone eat like that before.  And I never actually saw them chewing, but somehow every time I turned around, the food was gone again.

Oh, and here’s another tip:  never ask a crowd of thirteen-year-old girls, “What would you like to do now?”  They all feel very strongly about it, but are psychologically completely incapable of letting an adult know what they want.  So I think they had a good time.  Or maybe not.  Anyway, it’s over now.

Anyway, right in the middle of the preparations for this magnificent party, I remembered!  I remembered what I wanted to remind you.  Here it is:

Now that Mitt Romney is officially running for president, keep the following in mind.

This:

and this:

Well, that’s all.  Oh, I feel better now.
