Can't it wait?

Sydney was telling me about her day today and she mentioned that one of the girls in school was being mean to Sydney and her friend. She said that this girl told Sydney that she couldn't come to her next birthday party (although Sydney *did* go to her birthday party back in September) and if Sydney gave her a invitation to Sydney's party, the girl would rip it up. That made Sydney sad and cry when she told me the story. Geez, I didn't realize the meanness would start already.
