I told her that she needs to get over that or have a very lonely childhood as EVERY birthday party until she is 12 will serve pizza. <br /><br />Of course, I still have trouble with the pizza thing too but I don't say it Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14993459.post-56492506753321257042007-01-31T18:01:00.000-08:002007-01-31T18:01:00.000-08:00Poor little thing.
