My sister, “Kayla,” is getting married in July, and she recently told me something that has left me profoundly disturbed.
Kayla and I have an older sister, “Analise,” whose 7-year-old son, “Jacob,” has Tourette syndrome. Jacob will often have outbursts of profanity in stressful situations. As such, Kayla told me that she told Analise that her wedding is an adults-only affair, when in reality, other guests will be bringing their kids.
Her excuse for lying is that she’s afraid our nephew will do something to spoil the occasion. I think that, in addition to being terribly discriminatory toward a child who has a condition he can’t help, Analise and her husband are going to be incredibly hurt when they attend the wedding and see that other guests were allowed to bring their kids. When I pointed this out to Kayla, she said Analise would “just have to deal with it” at the time. Do I owe my sister a heads-up?
