Planning an Altruist-Themed Birthday Party

by Jason Roth

Cake and Ice Cream

What's a birthday party without cake and ice cream! You have many choices for tailoring this portion of the party to your altruist theme. One possibility might be to serve the cake, then tell all the children that if they eat their piece, they'll never be invited to another one of your child's parties again. (This is very effective because only the best of your child's friends will be deprived of cake!) This activity teaches restraint, repression, and the overall stifling of one's desires.

Another idea might be to purchase a big ice cream cake, and keep it under glass in the middle of the table. Let the children know that you'll be donating the cake to charity. (Of course, just because you have no intention of serving the cake doesn't mean you can't set the table with a birthday tablecloth.) Cake time is the right time to have a moment of silence for the less fortunate children of the world.
