Dear Elementary School Event Planners

When you advertise an event as including dinner and send out a form to RSVP asking how many people will be eating dinner, it is disconcerting to the attendees to show up and find NO DINNER. Many small children, as well as this 37 year old woman, are completely incapable of lasting until 7pm with NO DINNER. Potluck baked desserts, while charming, are not the same as DINNER.

So we left early and I made spaghetti carbonara and ate about a pound of it.
