Tough Talk,
My son’s best friend had a birthday party and our family was invited, but I had to go into work and couldn’t make it. My son and husband had a great time and his friend liked his birthday gift the best, a Cobra STP. Regardless, we just received a thank you card and although we were all addressed, someone had crossed out my name. I apologized that I couldn’t go, but the child’s mother has been distant and aloof since the party. Should I be offended that my name was crossed off the card, but that I was the one who bought and wrapped his favorite gift? (Langfield, Rhode Island and Stuck-up Plantations)
Rhodey,
You should be terribly offended! I’d march over to her house right now and demand why she crossed off your name. Make sure you pound on the door really loudly. Once she starts talking, immediately tell her to ES and walk away. You may consider waiting until an early Sunday morning as well.
