Family Timeline and Eloping

Ben: "Mom, did you already get married?" Mom: "Yes, a long time ago." Ben: "Why don't I remember it?" Mom: "Because it was more than 9 years ago. How old are you?" Ben: "Four and a half." Mom: "Then it was before you were born." Ben: "Why didn't I get to come though." Mom: "Maybe you watched us get married from heaven." Ben: "Why don't I remember Aunt Alex getting married?" Mom: "Because Tio Jota and Alex got married secretly. They didn't tell anyone and just surprised us one day." Ben: "But we didn't get to go to their party." Mom: "Nope. They didn't have a party." Ben: "Why didn't they have a party?" Mom: "Because when you get married secretly, you don't get to have a regular party for your family and friends." Ben: "We should tell Alex that was kinda mean and she should invite her family to her getting married party." Mom: "Yep. Let's call them." I'm not sure why Jason escaped all "blame" in Ben's mind, but he got off the hook for not inviting us to his getting married party. It's all Alex's fault.
