    Am I expected to give money/gifts to every kid whose graduation party I attend?

    right?

    we had to attend the graduation party of some kid name Skyler.

    as we were returning home, I made the comment that: Skyler seemed to be a pretty good guy.

    my wife informed me that Skyler was a girl and we had given her twenty five dollars.


    great, twenty five dollars for some kid I obviously don't even know.

    The name Skyler gets an automatic 10 dollar gift reduction. Blame the parents.

    some of these kids' names.....


    I once bought a Barbie doll with all the accessories for some kid named Dakota.


    I had to refinance our home to afford all of that gear, then Dakota turns out to be a 5 year old boy.


    I apologized to the parents for the confusion ( I still blame it on my son for his 5 year old inability to distinguish his classmate's gender ) but at the same time, I wanted to ask the mom: "What's wrong with naming your son Bob or Dave or Jimmy ?"

    In this same vein, how much do you hate apps that tell people you're online?

    We have no less than 10 parties that I know of already. A few more that I know I will get suckered into. I wonder if Oriental Trading Company has graduation gifts :D

    this is easy.

    step one: Give them all checks for $20

    step two: accidentally forget to sign the checks

    It's when a possum does something wrong, like eat your garbage but when you see him with pizza hanging out of his mouth it's kinda cute so you go "O possum!"
    For real .. :wink:

    Same as a possum but in America. Maybe a different sub species or something but it's a grey rodent that plays dead

    Ok.. lol.. I don't think ours play dead, nasty critters except for the little sugar gliders .. they're super cute.
