Dear Abby,
This has been going on for the better part of over 50 years now.
When I was just a young toddler my parents used to take all my sibblings out for ice cream, but I never got notified. Sometimes I did when they came home, but it was always a late notification.
Then in High School all my friends would go out and party on Fri. nights, but once again I didn’t get notified…
