From: Savannah To: John Subject: Impromptu Birthday Celebration
John,
Because you can't remember what's normal for couples because you were raised by a single parent, or so Sean claims, but you know what? It really doesn't matter since from his emails, it's obvious that Sean would rather that I not be there. Next time, you might want to ask your friend before inviting people. He would have told you that solidarity doesn't really mean me.
For future reference, it is incredibly rude to invite one spouse and not another unless as you said it's a Girls' Night out or Men's or a work thing.
