He clearly was happy to pay for a second (even if not a third) ticket to have you join him.<BR/><BR/>In the second place, if he could afford two tix for himself and your mom, obviously he's not going to suffer by purchasing two tickets, no matter who accompanies him.<BR/><BR/>In the third place, it would have been rude to turn him down, making you look (and feel) like an ungrateful brat.

As long as we don't go nuts. :)Zazzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984406076982323938noreply@blogger.com
