It’s one thing to get caked at a birthday party when you are home and can change and get clean but to have this happen in public you just might have to be messy for hours until you can get home.
It shouldn't be normalised even on birthday parties. I don't getbwhere is the fan. You dress yourself. You get smashed the kake into your face. You have to leave the celebration have a shower, and wash your hair. You have extra laundry. You have to clean the mess it it did at the table. You have no cake. Like what is the point? Is it a big problem to just sing happy birthday and have peace of cake while enjoying the time?
