Children’s birthday parties – events defined by cake, presents and determining whether you’d live or die as a passenger on the Titanic. 

Days after the disappearance and implosion of OceanGate’s Titan submersible dominated headlines – and every single goddamn conversation throughout the continental U.S. –  TikTok mom @thescallywagfam offered a glimpse at her young son’s aptly themed Titanic-themed birthday bash.

Expertly toeing the lines of “too soon?” and “oh hell yes,” the throwback snaps depicted a party that would make even Rose Dewitt Bukater weep tears of envy, an event complete with a Titanic-shaped pinata, a fruit-filled watermelon cut to look like one half of the ill-fated ship as it sank into the Atlantic Ocean, and color-coded goodie bags informing each guest of whether they survived the passenger liner’s demise.
