A short note - thanks MLC for your long reply - will get back when there is more time -
W sent the following email regarding getting tickets for our son19 to return home over Christmas:
Hi, Did the flight get worked out—it got left very late as he never knew his exam schedule? I forgot that MIL gave the kids two little packages. Don't bother her with the etsy things. Hope the plane stuff wasn't a terrible hassle.
which annoys me for two reasons. W doesn't call me by name (why?) and I didn't need to be reminded about the tickets. She does hope that the plane stuff was not too burdensome, at least.
It seems reasonable to push back on the not reminding front (I am an adult...) but how about the name? Like this, maybe:
Hi (W name),
I seem to be nameless in your mails... the ticket is bought... did not need to be reminded about it after your first note.
Luke
Is this a reasonable, somewhat annoyed, reply?
