One family was so upset that a 5-year-old missed their son’s birthday party that they decided to try to charge his parents for the child not attending.
According to the Plymouth Herald, 5-year-old Alex Nash was invited to a friend’s birthday party at a ski resort.
Upon receiving the invite, Nash’s parents told his friend’s mom that he would be attending the party. A short time later, they realized they already had made other plans for that day, so Alex was a no-show at the bash.
A few days after the party, Alex came home from school with an envelope in his backpack. It contained an invoice (an invoice!!!) from his friend’s mother for a “child’s party no show fee.”
The total bill: about $24.
Like almost anyone would, they thought it was a joke at first (maybe even writing about it in their diary) – but then, they say, the other mother threatened to take them to small claims court.
Now Alex’s parents claim things have gotten so bad, his friend will not even play with him anymore 🙁
Alex’s parents are trying to resolve the situation via Facebook.
