Helen was having a blast until she was handed a fiddler crab. The fiddler crab proceded to pinch her hand, which resulted in her attempting to shake it off, which only made the little bastard more determined to hold on, which caused Helen to scream so that everyone in the room could know the indignity she was suffering.
The guy who handed Helen the crab of course apologized, and then informed Ed this hadn't happened in ten years.
I didn't attend the beginning of the party because Connor had diving lessons. By the time I got there, Helen was pure legend as Ed, Helen, and several other parents related the story. Apparently Helen's response to the crab dampened the other children's enthusiasm for that portion of the party. Which, as it turns out, was perfectly fine since the guy was pretty much done and it was cake time.
So what I want to know...was this really the only time this has happened? Or is this just how this extremely popular entertainer escapes the clutches of a bunch of 3 year olds?
Not surprisingly, a piece of cake solved all!
This photo has nothing to do with this story, as you might guess, but I couldn't resist posting a photo from Helen's most recent tea party.

P.S. Happy Kansas Day!
