LOL, you are so lying. |
| I use it to threaten my son. As in, "if you don't do _______, I'm going to send you to [Capital Cotillion]/[Mrs. Simpson's]." Works like a charm. |
| I use the same threat of public school. |
We use the threat of Catholic girl's school!!
|
| I understand there is a fall and spring season for the cotillion. Is there anything at all like this during the summer months? |
Here it's military style boarding schools. |
| best threat: homeschooling |
| My kid already goes to Mrs Simpson's and wants to go to our public school for high school. And he's a boy so that Catholic girls school threat would be kind of empty, so what do I have to threaten - that he will be forced to go to Sidwell? |
Please tell me that this comment better belongs in the DCUM Farce thread . . . . Otherwise, I think I'm going to gag. |
Hey you guys, be a pal and help her out. Isn't there a debutante's ball or something coming up this July? |
Had you the benefit of a Cotillion experience, you would know that the debs are all summering in the summer and the balls all occur later in the year. |
| Can it be true that you have to write an essay explaining why your DC and your family should be invited to be part of Cotillion/Mrs. Simpson's? |
Hi Mrs. Simpson, please excuse my faux pas. |
No it is not true. You do need to fill out a form but it's pretty basic as long as you ignore the questions about when/where "mother was presented". I think the main criteria for acceptance, at least for boys, is a pulse and $300. |
Had you the benefit of a Cotillion experience dear girl, you would know that an e-mail "apology" is by definition, unacceptable. |
