The culture gap: kids birthday parties

Advertisements [?]

I'm basicaly a remnant of the last century, just hanging on here, and some of the new customs puzzle me. One of my nieces threw a birthday party for her six-year-old. In addition to 20 kids, all the parents of both sexes attended. The hundred dollar attraction was a guy with a 10 foot boa constrictor who talked about snakes for an hour (the guy, not the snake). Cake and ice cream were served. I have a couple of questons about this. Is it now customary for mom and dad to attend the kid's parties? Does the snake seem to you guys like an appealing entertainment for sixes?
