Texting your mom the morning of your summer wedding after...

Conversation

1. Mom, did you just tell Aunt June you invited my child?
2. What? No, I didn't say 'invited' like that.
3. I heard it clearly in the kitchen, Mom.
4. Where are you? Ceremony starts in three hours.
5. Outside the venue; I stepped out to call you.
6. I said 'they might come,' not 'I invited'.
7. You told relatives otherwise; I overheard Aunt June repeat it.
8. I panicked and spoke badly, okay?
9. Who is 'they'? Who did you tell?
10. Her name is Leah; she was in my adoption file.
11. Leah? I thought she wanted no contact.
12. I gave Leah up when I was nineteen, Mom.
13. Is this the Leah on your old Instagram?
14. Yes, she followed me last week and I didn't reply.
15. I didn't know she followed you, genuinely.
