The last unused concept for reality tv
There are so many reality shows now, it almost feels like everything has been done. There are shows about becoming the next big thing- musician, band, dancer, chef, designer. There are shows that follow teams of people in extreme careers - ice truckers, ax men, oil riggers. Plus all the big ones where people eat stuff, survive, or be idols. Seriously, what's left?
Well, I think I've come up with the only idea yet to be tried. "So you think you can come to my birthday" starring pre-schoolers. The idea is kind of in early stages, and I haven't worked out all the details. Just based on what I'm hearing at our house, I imagine the scenes would go something like this:
Child 1: Gimme the ketchup.
Child 2: No.
Child 1: Then you can't come to my birthday.
Child 1: I don't want to go to bed.
Parent 1: Well, it's late. It's time for bed.
Child 1: If you make me go to bed, then you can't come to my birthday.
Parent 1: Then who will make you cupcakes?
Child 1: Grandma.
Child 2: I want to wear a dress.
Parent 1: But it's really cold outside today. Pants would be better for playing in the snow.
Child 2: Then you can't come to my birthday.
Parent 2: Here's a Starburst.
Child 2: You can come to my birthday.
See what I'm saying? RIVETING.

OMG!! I have been "uninvited" to Maggie's birthday at least 2830 times now.
I could so totally win that show.

I have an add on. My kids both have July birthdays and I SWEAR, we start planning who is invited and un-invited in October or so. Last week, they gave themselves a budget and had to fully decorate and outfit all the guests from Oriental Trading. Next week, on "So you think you can come to my birthday" the planners will refine the guest list. Will Sara make the cut????
