Things Best Left Unsaid


I think we've all been in this situation before – you have a great party planned, the guests are just about to arrive, and suddenly something goes wrong and you're left reeling. And sure, I think it is human nature to share the details of those moments with friends, family, and therapists, but I do believe there are certain instances when too much information can really put a damper on the party. So, below I have listed a few examples of bad situations that should never be shared with your party guests.

Never tell yours guests...

  • that your pet boa constrictor is loose from his cage and now roaming freely through the house's plumbing.
  • that you were previously arguing with your spouse about which end of the toothpick to insert into your cocktail sausages.
  • that the frozen peas now garnishing the soup where previously used to ice your son's skinned knee, chill your lemonade in lieu of ice, and protect your bum from that searing hot car seat on your ride home from the grocery store.
  • that the recent power outage fried your bedroom videocamera.
  • that the second floor bathroom is out of order because you had curry last night.
  • that tonight's steak was last night's Lady Gaga costume.
  • that your child just lost a tooth in the soup.
  • that you forgot to wear pants while deep-fat frying the corn dogs.
  • that your new recipe for scrambled eggs was inspired by a recent episode of “Dirty Jobs.”
  • that you ran out of Ziploc bags and marinated tonight's chicken breasts in your shower cap.
