Reef(er) Madness November 17, 2007

I recently received an evite to an event. Here is the title:
Reef Making Party
I gotta tell you. When I received this invitation I was pretty excited. I immediately began to think about what I would wear. I began to envision the trip to coastal Georgia. I thought about all of us ladies gathering our rock and sand and coral and making our way into the water so we could add to the beautiful infrastructure of the sea. How amazing would that be!
Then I realized the invitation should have read:
Wreath Making Party
And I was appalled! I cannot believe that I received this invitation. Is this really what the world has come to? Professional women don’t know the difference between reef and wreath? I am Soooooooo embarrassed for this woman. We are acquaintances and not friends. I don’t feel comfortable telling her of the obvious faux pas. If it was one of my friends I’d call her up and say look, homie you know it’s not a reef right?
I can only imagine what other invitations she sends out. In January will she invite me to a Black History Monf luncheon? In February will I be subjected to an invitation for a Valentime’s Day Ball? Will the invitation in March read Phat Tuesday?
We have got to do better, people!
LMAO! I can’t believe someone would not know the difference or even bother to have someone look at it first. Sadly no one will tell her either I don’t think.
Surely you jest….surely. Are you for real? I thought it meant a marijuana making party!!!! Like REEFER!! LOLOLOL!!! I never even thought about a ‘coral reef’. Girl! I’m D.O.N.E.!
Ooookay. LOL. But Babs you need to tell that girl “her breath is stinking” ROFL. If you don’t check her, those future invites will be coming to you again.
I am not creative enough to make this up! It’s the truth!
cbean- we aren’t friends. it’s not my place to tell her. how uncomfortable would that be?!
I.HATE.YOU.
WOW! That is truly sad.
Wow
I was just relieved that you weren’t invited to a REEFER party!
ONEFROMPHILLY
had it been a reefer party, I’d a posted about that too! lol
*DEAD* ROFL!!!!
Maybe ol’ girl was on the “REEFER” while sending out the invitations.
Will you be attending the “Chrimas” reef pawty? LOL!!!!
I’m glad that you were able to decipher the hood speak.
Can’t say I’m surprised. Amused, yes, but not surprised. People have taken to making up English as they go along.
OMG how tragic is that?! I’m HOLLERIN over here! Babs you are so funny.
Please tell me you’re still going to go?? I’m sure it will be a ‘welf’ of entertainment.
Hostess- Hellz yeah I’m going to that party! And I’ll be blogging about it that night! Can you imagine all the goodies I’ll come away to blog about? The guests, the snacks, the conversation (cause you know we’ll be conversating!).
LMAO
ROTFLMAO HAHHAAAAA
“Maybe ol’ girl was on the “REEFER” while sending out the invitations.”
