So a few weeks ago, Dad passed away. Mic requested that SS be allowed to go to the viewing. Ms. Perfect actually had a heart and let him go. I'm certainly not used to her doing anything nice or considerate, so I sent a thank you note. It didn't say much, just that we appreciated her letting SS come with us, and that her thoughtfulness concerning the situation would be returned. I sealed it up, stuck a stamp on it and dropped it in the mail.

Fast forward to a few days ago. Mic was on the phone with SS. Ms. P. told SS to tell Mic to tell me (yeah, God forbid she lower herself by actually speaking to me)"Thanks, but it was unnecessary". Keep in mind that this was the first time she EVER thanked me for anything. But when Mic told me the whole "unnecessary" part really ticks me off. If she meant "you didn't have to do that" that's what she should have said, it would have been much more polite. I told Mic that due to her lack of thankfulness in the past two years, she had definitley deemed it all "unnecessary". But just because she doesn't feel the need to be nice to other people doesn't mean that I don't. I was raised to say thank you. And guess what- so will their son, if I have anything to say about it.

I mean, for crying out loud, who forwards a message like that through a child? "No, son, don't bother to say thank you to anyone, it's unnecessary". WTF.
