I’m a literal minded person and now I realize no matter how much a facebook post says “everyone is welcome” and “the whole (where I live) can come” it doesn’t actually mean that. But wow, they really drove that point home.

The mom and daughter were so disappointed when it was me and no kid. The girl had no friends to come over and the mom made me feel so sorry for her. I felt like I was that girl in 5th grade and really wanted to just bring a present for her. (Got what the mom said she liked and a giftbag).

But it gets worse, since even coming late I was still the first person and then they were so sad and seemed to hate looking at me after that. I wanted to b-line to my car but the grandpa didn’t let me! He said I had to stay for food now so I did even though people didn’t talk to me very much but the guys were cool I guess.

Then after a while grandpa says “maybe it’s a good time to uh, leave? Cus we don’t really know you. Thank you for the present” and now I can’t stop thinking about this sad girl and her house and her yard with trash in it that doesn’t get picked up. I’m so sorry to be such a disappointment and I hate when what was meant to be a good deed gets punished.

If you tell me I’m a dumb piece of crap, yeah I already know. I can’t stop thinking about what a dumb piece of crap I am to be honest. So you can’t hate me any more than I already hate myself.

Tl;dr: tifu by going to a little girls party. “Everyone is welcome” does not mean show up without a kid.
