what would you do if someone were having a memorial dinner for your grandfather? if the cause that the dinner will be funding is one you don't care about? one that granpa wouldn't have cared much for?
what if your grandmother had sent out letters asking people to donate money and come to the dinner? what if it was your uncle's cause?
what if you found out that your uncle went through the donation book from after granpa's funeral, and used those names and addresses to solicit funds for his cause? what if he asked 2 of the 16 grandchildren to match grandma's $1800 donation because they're "the ones who have jobs"? what if you just hung up after a phone call from a woman in the community calling on his behalf to remind you to make reservations for the dinner and to put in an ad before the deadline?
what if the whole thing felt dirty and under-handed to you and you ached to explain to your uncle how truly offensive the rest of the family (read: grandchildren) finds this dinner to be?
