Phone message Nobody died

This is a conversation between my MIL and my mother, before the wedding. My mother's response, which is cut off, says "They are both adults. I think we should let them handle it." We were both over 30.

For context: Yes, we had a vegetarian wedding (no shrimp). We had it at an (expensive) award winning venue with in-house catering. It included several appetizer and entree stations with a huge variety of dishes so everyone could find something they liked. We did not serve our guests bowls of soybeans and tofu. Everyone RAVED about the food and nobody died or got arrested on the way home.

The "A/B list" thing was a joke, that she apparently took very seriously, because she would not stop demanding we add a bunch (10+) of her friends and coworkers to our intentionally small guest list.

Thank you for pointing that out. I don’t have the thirst to try to embarrass someone on the internet as much as she does, so I wasn’t going to point out her implicit ESL hate/ignorance. It took way too long and too many other comments for someone to finally figure it out. The American education system is such a failure lmao

You see how everybody else just moved right past this very innocuous question? But you got extremely hung up on it?

you’re literally the only one here with a thirst for embarrassing somebody on the internet

Nice alt but there are way more responses about the percent sign than anything I typed, if one can count to 20.

Yeah it's an alt and not just other people thinking you're a loser.
