Ah, that first birthday party. It’s such a wonderful milestone in a new parent’s life. Yeah, yeah, it’s an important time for the child, too. But hey, they ain’t gonna remember any of it. Mom and Dad, though, will be able to really enjoy that day. They can gather their adult friends together and celebrate … well, yeah, their kid, but also they can woo-hoo their shared appreciation of Game of Thrones, a TV show filled with raw sex and grizzly violence. What better way to mark your daughter’s first annum of existence?
That’s how one fan-dad saw it anyway. A guy known online as “Redditor wierddad” went all out to give his little Khaleesi, queen of cats, her own handmade throne of swords, and a row of “pike”-mounted candy apple heads. Hey, if he’d only added in a troupe of knife-waving eunuchs it would have likely been a celebration that King Joffrey himself could have cheered (just before he shot his next guest with a crossbow bolt).
OK, the mashable.com article that reported this first name day party made it clear that little birthday girl Emma isn’t really a Game of Thrones fan quite yet. “Her entertainment is mostly limited to wooden toys, children’s songs, and books for now,” said her father. But that didn’t keep Dad from breaking out the glue gun and Styrofoam and gettin’ his party on. “I suspect she’ll find it amusing that she had her 15 minutes of Internet notoriety,” said wierddad. “At the very least it’ll make for an interesting wedding slide presentation.”
Hopefully, this won’t spur other parents to similar Game of Throne partying heights. You know, like picnics with “The Hound” seared burgers or graduation shindigs with banners proclaiming “I wish you were never born, you’ve brought me nothing but shame.”
Watch out kids … parties are coming!
