The Tangled Web of the All-White Reunion Drama

 

Here we go with another Wellingtons Short Story Collection they going retro with this one. 

Once upon a time in the ever so exciting land of Facebook, where there was some ordinary action under a post. This contentious thread that gave everyone a taste of a roller coaster ride, of humor and drama, as if they were watching a theatrical play live. 

The topic of this endless debate was as light-hearted as could be - a '1976 Class Reunion' whose dress code was an 'All White Affair'. However, what followed were a series of colorful comments from one particular person - Mr. Bailey. His comments did more than stand out, they became a moment of amusement and laughter for everyone following the thread.

Mr. Bailey, an enthusiastic attendee of all previous class reunions, was deeply offended on not having been included in the decision to decide the dress code, his anger  in the first comment itself. 

Mr. Bailey: How you gonna tell everybody what wear? You don’t know what’s in my closet. 

A chuckle rolled out of readers when the Director Mrs. Jenkins politely told him it was a the voter’s decision. Yet, that did nothing to cool his displeasure. 

Mr. Bailey: I been to every reunion we had and we didn’t vote on dress code for none them. 

 Director Mrs. Jenkins: We decided to do it a different way for this year reunion. 

Mr. Bailey: I knew when they appointed you as the director it was going to be messed up just like back when we was in dating in high school. 

He continued, taking more jibes at the director, complaining about he knew she was going to messed up everything just like when they dated back in high school. 

When Mrs. Jenkins requested to take their personal matters off the Facebook thread, he simply shrugged off, claiming that he couldn’t care less. While some readers rolled their eyes, others continued to get amused. 

Next came the feisty Mrs. Jackson, who is tired of Mr. Bailey’s obstinacy, asked him not to come to the reunion if he didn't like the dress code. And before anyone could react, Mr. Bailey returned a scorching burn about her constant wig wear. 

Mrs. Jackson: If you don’t have all white just don’t go. 

Mr. Bailey: Who the hell you telling don’t go. I know one thing you better not go with that same wig on your head that you wore to the last two reunions. Is that the same wig you had in high school. 

Mrs. Jackson: Ooh, I can’t stand him. 

Giggles erupted, cheeky emojis floated around as people jumped in the delightful conversation between Mrs. Jackson and Mr. Bailey. 

The thread got hotter, comments fired up faster and amidst it all, the ’76 reunion, for sure, got way more popular than any of their previous reunions had been. All thanks to the one-man-army Mr. Bailey, who gave a masterclass on 'How to set Facebook threads on fire!'.

P.S. Everyone was stunned when Mr. Bailey showed up. He had on all black and on the back of his sport blazer it read: Death To The 1976 Class Reunion because this the last one.
