I was trying to figure out what to write about for this post. I always have so much content in my head but then when it’s time to sit down and write – nothing. My high school reunion is coming up in a few weeks and I have so many opinions about it. Who has their reunion in October? Most of the time it’s during the summer or the holidays when folks can take vacations.  So as a result not that many people are going. The location has already been moved to a smaller venue because of low ticket sales.  I was only one out of handful black folks at my school. And at our last reunion I was the only black woman that showed up. So I’m sure once again I will be the only spot in the buttermilk. Which is fine because I’m used to being a pioneer.

What is not OK is that folks are bringing their spouses.  Seriously, why bring them to your reunion? They don’t know anyone and odds are you will have to keep them entertained the whole night. Granted I’m single as a dollar bill but if I did have a husband, trust and believe he would not be going. There are some things that you don’t need to bring your spouse to and a high school reunion is one of them. They can stay their asses at home.

I posed this topic to my Twitter followers and they were in agreement. Below are a few of their tweets.

 

  I don’t know if it’s a security blanket or what. But I would be interested to know why from people who actually brought their spouses or partners to their high school reunion.   Also, note that the planners of my high school reunion wanted children to come. Thankfully, that was shot down with a quickness. *insert side-eye emoji* Have brought your spouse or significant other to your high school reunion?  signature.png
