Surprise! We brought luggage
Fictional launch letter
Dear Duck,
My relatives arrive without warning and expect to stay the weekend. How do I tell them that does not work?
— Unexpected Host
Dear Complimentary Hotel,
You say, “We cannot host you this weekend.” Practice without adding fourteen explanations they can negotiate.
A suitcase placed on your porch is not a reservation. Nor does shared ancestry confer access to the good towels. Offer another date if you genuinely want a visit. Otherwise provide a hotel suggestion with the serene confidence of someone who has already changed into pajamas.
