[quote=Anonymous]But what about the rare but possible chance it was an oversight? I was 'oversighted' way back in 3rd grade when Tracy T. had an ice skating party and the ENTIRE 3rd grade was invited except for me I assumed. Even Tracy T. asked me 'oh did you get your invitation?' I told her I did not. She replied, 'oh you will'. Another kid in our class asked if I was going, and I told her I was not invited. THANK GOD for kind parents. That kid's parent called the birthday kid's parent and by that evening the birthday kid's mom called my mom to apologize and say it was definitely an oversight and everyone was definitely invited.

And yes, FORTY years later I remember this incident--vividly.

Last year a stupid parent sent invites to my son's 4th grade classroom with the birthday kid to distribute to a few kids. One of the invitees said he didn't want to go, so gave the invite to my son.  When ds told me the story, I stated that he was NOT invited and could not go.  My son insisted that he'd asked the birthday kid if he could go instead of the kid who did not want to go.  Birthday kid said yes. And of course I explained to my son that was not an invitation so he was not (and did not) going.

I am on the TEAM EMAIL THE MOM. Short and simple and friendly, even include: 'I'm thinking 'my son' is mistaken, but just confirming that he is not on 'birthday girl's' party list this year. Sounds like they are becoming friends, so perhaps we can set up a playdate soon...'[/quote]
