I hope the heavy sarcasm in the title was implied.
My mom is super sad that I probably won't be able to have a shower, given the scattered-ness of our guests, and baffled as to why my attitude about this is, "Oh well, what can you do?" She spoke to my aunt about it, and my aunt suggested a virtual shower! OMG, best idea ever, right??? I can open gifts via Skype or webcam, and my guests can watch my gush over them from hundreds of miles away, and it saves money because we don't have to host them or give them food or thank them in any meaningful way for their time, money, and efforts!
She told my aunt, "I don't think fluttering would like that idea," but when she told it to me, her tone made it clear that she didn't really agree with me.
So I said, "You're right! I don't like that idea!" And changed the subject.
