My Aunt Carol’s retirement party was supposed to be a big deal — a fancy cruise to Hawaii with the whole family. It sounded amazing, right? Except for one thing: I wasn’t invited.
Turns out, my family had been planning everything on Facebook, something I’d stopped using a while ago for some peace and quiet. Little did I know, while I was enjoying the calm, I was also being left out.
I only found out when I asked my sister about getting Aunt Carol a gift.
“Should I get her something?” I asked.
“Yeah, grab her something. We’ll give it to her on the cruise,” she said, like it was nothing.
“Wait, what? A cruise!? I wasn’t even invited!” My heart sank.
“Oh, we just figured you’d stay home to watch our kids…”
