Georgia had been adopted from Ethiopia by the family of an entrepreneur in the Seattle area who invented something related to computers and video – Jordan didn’t know anything more than that (other than the fact that her family was l.o.a.d.e.d.). Any party at Georgia’s house was bound to be a good one – and presumably the cute personalized handmade cards were invitations and just the beginning of an amazingly good time.
The friends looked at each other and then at their matching pink and white envelopes. Alex smiled widely. Jordan looked like a deer in the headlights. The more enthusiastic of the two tore her envelope open and read it aloud: “Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Georgia’s Birthday’s Next Saturday, Won’t you come Sleepover Too?” Besides mixing metaphors of love-note and birthday invitation – it was super sweet and creative.
