Klassy, with a K

You receive a birthday invitation in the mail.
You:
A) RSVP within a few days
B) RSVP late but RSVP nonetheless
C) don't RSVP, how the hell could you know what you're doing that day
D) don't RSVP, you're too important for such things

You run into the mother of the birthday boy at school.
You:
A) say hello and that Johnny is excited for the party
B) say hello and apologize for not RSVPing but Johnny will be there
C) say hello and pretend to know what the mom is talking about when she mentions the party
D) ignore the birthday kid's mom

You RSVP'd that your child will be attending the party.
On the day of the party you:
A) drop Johnny off but stay for a bit to chat.
B) drop Johnny off, go shopping, return at end of party.
C) decide that the party is no big deal, you don't attend and don't call
D) you drive your child to the party and as you drive up, the birthday mom sees you and waves. Your child sees that her best friend isn't there (she RSVP'd but was a no-show), so without even stopping, you just drive off with your child.

Your RSVP'd that your child would attend the party, but for some reason didn't.
You:
A) don't call
B) don't apologize
C) pretend it didn't matter that you blew off the party
D) all of the above.

The answers to all the questions seem to be C and D.
Dylan's party was yesterday.
All of those things happened to us.
I'm glad Dylan had a great time
but here is what I have learned:
Money can buy you a lot of things, but it can't buy you class.

At least Dylan seemed unfazed by it, and you're right...money can't buy you class!

People are so freaking rude!! It never ceases to amaze me how people behave. Didn't their parents teach them any manners at all?!?! And what does this say about what they are teaching their children? IDIOTS! I'm sooooo sorry this happened to Dylan and YOU! But, I'm glad he had a good time! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DYLAN!!!!

oh people like that make me so angry. They have no respect for others and are teaching their children to have none. Can you tell this is a soapbox issue for me?

Cris said...

Some people are just flat out rude. I'm sorry to hear that happened, but I am glad that Dylan still had a good time.

Exactly what cajunquilter said - they're certainly not setting a good example by their actions. Especially in the case of driving away - what's up with that???

Glad Dylan had a good birthday despite the flakiness.

Geez.

Happy Birthday to your son. Sorry to hear about all of that. Pretty stinky.

Tracy said...

Tiny-minded people think that nobody else matters in the world except for them. And you are SO right about money and class...

Samantha said...

Wow, and the worst part is that these parents are setting the examples for their kids! yikes!

And this is why our children's bday parties are with family only. I don't want to deal w/crap like that. Luckily my family is large enough to make up a hellified party.

Poor Dylan.

Poor Dylan. Kids and parents are so mean at times. I'm glad he had fun anyway.

Give him a another piece of birthday cake from me.

O.M.G I cannot believe that someone wouldn't R.S.V.P! I can't wait to hear this one. Don't worry it happens everywhere, but it sure does suck! Hang in there girl, and tell Dylan that I said Happy Birthday!
