When you’re a parent, you want to find ways to make your kiddos happy. This is especially true when it comes to special occasions like their birthday. But how does a parent successfully fulfil their child’s birthday wish when the theme they want is a bit odd? For this Mom, whose soon-to-be 5 year old wanted a worm themed party, the answer is ask social media.

Daughter insists on Worm theme for her birthday party

My daughter is turning 5 soon and we are planning her birthday party. She insists on having a worm theme for her birthday. I have no idea how I'm going to pull that off. I googled worm cake and worm decorations and there's not much. I'm not very creative so I thought I would turn to Reddit for help/ideas.

What a cool kid! I’m a (sea) worm taxonomist. I can’t guarantee I’ll be available, but if you’d be interested in having a little zoom or recorded presentation about worm science at the party, feel free to send me a message!

Who says parties can’t be educational? I don’t know about you, but I’d love to hear about the science of worms — I’m betting this worm-loving kiddo would, too!

Sometimes, simplicity is key. And in this case, pretty humorous, too!
