AppId is over the quota
Why not amuse them yourself?
Let's face the facts - kids nowadays are much more knowledgeable and aware of their surroundings, than previous times. Couple that with genuine mood swings and such an audience can shake your very-grown up confidence. From snatching away your fake beard, to being less than amazed at your stories and magic tricks, these tiny guests can be hard to handle. Having faced such disappointments some parents take the emotional toll of it and 'realize' that they are no longer cool for the kids.
In reality, it is just the fact that with numerous distractions in the form of gadgets and activities available all at the same time, kids are prone to constant stimulation. Any parent of a 5-10 year old will tell you that "Daddy...I'm boooored" can be a nightmare of an issue to fix. So you can't assume that the kids would be any different when they turn up for the party. The not-so-shy kind may actually voice this issue over and over, making others join the bandwagon. It may embarrass your own child and confuse them as they still look up to you yet cannot make their peers feel the same way.
Clearly, having to manage and supervise all the aspects of a party along with the entertainment has been a hectic job for parents of all times. However, with this added factor of your young guests seeking "quality entertainment", the efforts are magnified to another level.

Was the kid too ill-mannered/wild to control? Was another child involved in causing the accident? Are his/her parents aware of their child's behaviour? Instead of pondering over who to blame, such incidents may all together be avoided with the hired help. In case, they do occur most children entertainers are prepared with first-aid kits and trained to handle the situation.
