That depends what type of bouncy castle that you want and for how long.

[At this point he's sort of become a bouncy castle expert.]

[allforyuu]

Let's say I want a bouncy castle that can room at least eight people. How expensive can that get?

[For a moment he considers his possible guests, and then he simply sighs.]

and it needs to be idiot proof.

[deathboss]

You'd need an adult one for sure uh...I'm guessing around 350$.

What type of idiot proof are we talking about? No one's got spiky elbows or feet do they?

[dejerate]

'Idiot proof'? Mika!

[Because yes. He does guess this is probably referring to him, given the 'affectionate' nick-name of sorts.]

Invite people over or to a different place. There's usually cake, too, or whatever the birthday person likes.

And it depends on the size and how long you need it for. Or if it's for kids or adults.

[allforyuu]

cake!! i knew i had forgotten something

can't adults use a kid-sized bouncy castle?

[missingache]

If you don't want a whole cake, there's a place that sells cupcakes here that are really good. Less mess, too.

Not really. Most adults are too tall for kid sized ones.

ok but what do you mean by "normal" birthdays??
what kinda birthdays have you been witnessing

[allforyuu]

i mean when you have enough money to actually have one.

what is a real birthday to you?

[mercurio]

how much money are we talking about??
but usually it's cake and pinatas and candy bags
music too

idk about 'real' birthdays but ig it's about
hanging out with friends? family?

[lastcomfort]

Omg! I would have loved a bouncy castle for my birthday!

Google says that it's from like $100 to $2000???

[allforyuu]

it looks like a lot of fun!

what. can you imagine how many cakes you could get for that

[lastcomfort]

Soooo many cakes! But if you jumped on those you'd make a mess, so a bouncy castle might be a better idea.

[maskreant]

about $220 for toddlers and juniors and probably 300-400 for older.

i think most people have a cake for their birthday though.

[allforyuu]

that's not too bad. i think

is there a general consensus on what kind of cake you ought to have or can you like make a banana smarties cake if you really like those things

[maskreant]

it's affordable depending on how many people are coming or how much disposable income you have.

no. people pick the person's favorite flavor if they know it. otherwise, they go with safe flavors like vanilla or chocolate.

[dejerate]

Mika, you could have a huge bouncy castle! That would be so awesome! And I bet you could get an amazing cake too! I mean. I would have made you one but I figured your family probably already had that sorted on their end.

[allforyuu]

They're out of town today :(

But my mom sent me some money so I figure let's try to make the best of it.

Do you know what i want to do?

[dejerate]

What? Their timing sucks. It was another work thing, wasn't it?

What'd you want to do? Name it and we'll do it! It's your day, Mika!

[penalizing]

bouncy castle would be great for a birthday!!!!
i know it sounds like it'd be for little kids, but i think everyone could have fun with it
usually people give presents and have cake and stuff too

[allforyuu]

none of us could afford it as i grew up so clearly a bouncy castle needs to happen

stuff to do?

[penalizing]

that makes it all the more important!!!
and yeah, usually!! like games and stuff
depends on what that person likes since it's their birthday

[imaginex]

I held my birthday party at an arcade with a friend!

Though I don't know if that's considered normal by American standards or not.

[allforyuu]

there's an arcade here?

[imaginex]

Yes, it was a lot of fun, even if you don't play many games.
