Conversation with Mom

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"I am crazy busy with work. You have no idea how exhausting it is to watch the news."

"You can spare one night can't you?"

"Not with him."

"He's your Father."

"He's a mega douche."

"He's still your Father."

"I am not going to go through another Passover. That was uncalled for the way he acted toward me."

"Just come have dinner with us this week. Can you at least think about it."

"I'll get back to you."

"Good. We'll see you this Friday."

"Mom. I didn't say yes. I said I will get back to you."

"See you at 7."
