To be honest, I wanted nothing to do with the invite list. And it was just like, Winnie, invite your best girlfriends. I don't have friends. Guys don't want to go to first birthday parties. Can we just say that? That's fair. That's fair. So anyways, I decided, you know what? Instead of making everyone like, hey, bring a gift, bring more stuff. What if I did a little QR code?

And if you so chose, you could give to her future college fund. So I made it cute. It was really cute. It said like... Cowgirls, blah, blah, blah, support Cowgirls College Fund with a QR code to go scan and donate directly to the fund. This was not like my then, though.

So I then posted on social media, like I'm posting the picture as a joke, like when you give people financial advice and you're the girl that, whatever, as a funny joke. Then people thought, wow, he's soliciting donations from social media now. So they thought it was tacky that I was on social trying to get money for my daughter's college fund.
