The context of the following conversation is Carson was the only one of the co-workers who brought presents for their son to the birthday party.:
Carson says I hope he enjoys the present! I am kinda sad no one else brought a present..
The friend responds I think people didn't really realize it was that kind of birthday party..
Carson responds Oh did people think it was like a BBQ situation?.
The friend responds I think so... I still wish I had brought a gift though. I feel bad..
Carson responds It's ok, I'm sure he is just happy to have everyone here..
The friend responds I hope so! I will make sure to get a gift next time..
