Default What to do?

A work friend of my wife has invited us to her sons wedding celebration tonight. I have never met the bloke or his bride to be. The only people my wife and I will know there are the grooms parents.

I do not want to go, it is about 25 miles from where we live which will mean a fortune on taxis. I know I will have a miserable time and "ruin" it for my wife.

How do I persuade my wife that going there is a bad idea?

Bloody heck stranger, what woodwork you crawl out of? How you doing?

Well just used the mother not being well as an excuse. Not too far from the truth, I m sure I saw some hooded bloke with a scythe and spindly fingers hanging round her room last time I visited her. Got to go visit her tonight as punishment for telling porkies.

Why do nursing homes smell of wee?

Tim, you do this every day of your life - why is this so different?
