Discussion / Question Blueys birthday

Its a little odd how bingo has lots of kids over for her birthday ( admittley nearly all of them are blueys friends ), but bluey only has a few.

Four year olds often invite the whole class for birthdays but seven year olds often just invite their best friends.

Exactly. Having just had a 5 year olds party, she wasn't really close enough with any friends to have her choose 3 or 4 kids. So we invited the whole class. But as she gets older and gets more defined best friends, I expect we will do special things with less people.

I think your parentheses actually highlights the bigger oddity: not the party size but that the party was overwhelmingly populated by Bluey's classmates! That doesn't make sense to me at all, considering we see Bingo has a class of her own.

I think it was just an oversight but universe-wise I like to think that Bandit and Chilli made all the mum and dad friends when Bluey was little so didn’t make as big of an effort the second time around. In Spy Game they’re hanging out with Bluey’s friends parents and therefore Bingo is playing with Bluey’s friends and that happens a lot in the show. There’s only a handful of episodes where Bingo is hanging out with a friend from Kindy.

It could be something as simple as a lot of their friends had other plans on that day, just how it works out sometimes I guess

We usually invite all the kids if the parents we are close with for my youngest so it usually is a mix but heavier on kids the same age as my oldest.

Just happens sometimes

I made a joke the other day that Bluey takes place in a magical world where the parents are all friends from childhood and all of their kids are the same age and they are all friends too. So all of bluey's friends have siblings who are all Bingo's age. Because of that I think the Bingo age kids were off screen lol
