Below the cake were the words:
“BUT AT LEAST I’M NOT A JERK.”
I laughed until my stomach hurt!
The design showed a cartoon birthday cake.
“Lauren, you’re ridiculous!”
“Thank you. I’ll put that on my business cards.”
I asked her to make me one.
She offered to print it that night.
Then, she asked whether she could show Rachel.
I agreed.
I asked her to make me one.
Rachel wanted one immediately!
Then Melissa, another friend who’d attended dinner, asked for one.
My cousin Jenna joined in.
Nobody posted anything publicly. Lauren simply shared the design with a small group of women who knew what had happened.
Within an hour, 12 people wanted shirts!
I couldn’t believe it!
Rachel wanted one!
Then, Lauren called again.
“Emily, you’re going to love this!”
“What now?”
“Guess who ordered six?!”
I had no idea.
“Tyler’s mother!”
I sat upright and stared at the ceiling.
