The Birthday Party


 

Neighbor Jessica recently had a birthday. To celebrate, her kids threw her a catered party. Where? In the complex's clubhouse. Who was invited? “Some” of her neighbors; namely, 25 out of 40 in the building. Why? Well, when some of the uninvited found out about the event and some asked questions, Jessica's unapologetic response was that she was limited to 25 guests. All righty, then. That makes sense. It was her party and her prerogative.

What doesn't make sense is why on earth she wouldn't choose a different venue for her party when the clubhouse was in full view of everyone in the building. And she knew she was only inviting the “in crowd,” i.e., those who subscribe to certain views, opinions, and judgments. That is to say, hers. She had to know there were going to be hurt feelings.

Tacky, Jessica. Very not classy. And weird. Which only goes to demonstrate why the building is nicknamed Weirder Things.
