Hey are you coming to mum's Birthday lunch.

I'm not too sure how your dad could have been confused..... Seems that my invite tomorrow is a bit of an afterthought and not even from your parents so I might pass thanks...

What I recon is everybody forgot to actually invite me to this thing and I feel very very hurt about that..

I'm sorry for shouting at you this afternoon. I was feeling very hurt and lashed out... I'd like to not do that again.
