My condolences, I suppose. Just in case anyone, likely mother-shaped, inquires. I suppose the mention means you'd like me to attend?
I know. I can hardly go anywhere without someone prattling on about it. One idiot actually tried to use it as a pick-up line last night. This execution is only going to make it worse. At the very least you gain the benefit of sympathy points. That should be fun for you.
We should, preferably somewhere that offers bottomless mimosas.
