i always blame my mother for my inability to say no. so let's just say, serves her right.
mom: just so you know, we'll have 3 young gentlemen here for supper tomorrow night.
me: i won't.
mom: yes, their mom needs help [what with her being so sick and having just had surgery], and all the other neighbors have been helping out, so i figured it was our turn.
me: i won't be here.
mom [horrified]: what?! where will you be?
me: i'm going to the game with uncle santa. i'm leaving at 6:00.
mom: shoot! and dad has softball! so i'm on my own. oh shoot.
me: ha ha ha ha! now you get to see what i've been dealing with all this time! good luck!
me: i won't.

but she got lucky. my dad is more than likely going to skip softball.
young men?? what age, i wonder?? ;)
too bad your dad doesn't help you with babysitting too ;)
i know! (although he did the one night when they were so horrid i had to call him to get them to bed.)
Sad. (That you had to call him; not that he came to your aid)
how many times have i told her that it's ok to say 'no' sometimes?
