Now that we've planned our Spring Break trip with one of the neighbor families, we need to ask other neighbor families that we're friends with. We don't want to do it in a way that will offend since they had no prior knowledge of this. Our wives decided that the other husband should send the email because he's not much of a planner and it would come off as if we just planned this on a whim. He doesn't want to do it. I volunteered to send the email to the neighbors this way:
Me - "I'll send the email, I'm blaming you and Henrietta."
Mrs. JCyclonee - "That's exactly why you're not funny."
