Tuesday, February 26th - Dear Miss Pearl...

Dear Miss Pearl,

I had to make sure I can handle the response before I send this letter, because you and your readers are BRUTAL. I think I'm ready now.

My family is planning a party for my mother's 80th birthday. This is suppose to be something special for my mother, we are all financially involved in this. My problem is my sister sends out her invitations to everyone saying it's her daughter's birthday party, my mother's and my brother.

No one knew that she was going to do this, my other sister said just let it go. Miss Pearl, I am tired of my ghetto family popping up with a cake for a birthday that has nothing to do with them or there kids. When my son had a going away to college party, my other sister came with her son a cake and walked around telling everyone its for her son also.

I told my sister that the only birthday I will be celebrating on that day is my mothers. I think she was wrong for doing it and it should be addressed, this is why they keep doing it. I thought we were going to do nice fancy invitations, not a email. I'm looking forward to hearing your response to tell me if I'm wrong or not.

Dear One Pissed Off Sister,

You have no reason to fear being cursed out (at least not from me) because I'm on your side with this one. Your ghetto assed family needs to put up, or shut up! Your mother is turning 80 years old, and just being here for that many years is deserving of special recognition, and not one that she should have to share with ANYbody - so for your sister to decide that she's going to turn a celebration of your mother and her 80 years here on earth into something about someone else is not only classless, but it's ALSO disrespectful.

If you planned a party for your mother, then it should be about your mother and I don't care how selfish or petty that sounds, turning someone else's celebration into something it's not is disrespectful - that's like me walking into your wedding reception with a cooler full of beer, a deck of cards and some dominoes talkin' about, "It's Tay Tay and Malika's birthday too!"

People like your sister don't see anything wrong with the stuff they do, but there IS something wrong with it. She's cheap and figures it's easier to "bring a cake" to someone elses party, than it is to plan one on her own - and it's WRONG, wrong, wrong!

Tell your sister that the next time you plan an event and she decides that she's going to co-chair that event without an invite, she will be escorted to other side of the door along with her cheap assed cake and any UNintended "honorees" who show up with her ghetto ass!

If she wants to do a joint event, it's customary to ASK the person planning the damn thing in the first place. You don't just show up at a birthday party with a cake and ask where you should put someone else's gifts! Your sisters are dumb as hell, girl!

Tell them huzzies where to get off!
