2. I can’t stand the noise,with kids traipsingin and out, and Ben getting out of his routine. Also the mess...
3.Look,It’s the kid’s birthday. She’s ten years old. She’s toldher friends. You can’t let her down.Ben can go to Auntie Janice’s,She’s always offering to have him. And you can go out for theafternoon. We can manage just fine without you.
1. You can leave the whole thing to me, Mom. I’llorganize a dance party for Katy, and buy in some soda and hamburgers, and you don’t have to lift afinger. We’ll do it next weekend when Dad’s at home. He can be the DJ.
4. I also enjoy helping to set up parties, so with everything planned out lets shop for gifts!

2. Ok! Hi Can I have 10 Rainbow note pads and 10 of those pencils with the pink and yellow teddy bears on them please.
At the toy shop to buy gifts for Katy"s Party guests
1. Mom the maxinum you can spend on a gift for each guest is 2 dollarsThere will be 10 guests at Katy's Party.
3. Why did Mom chose the weirdest things, like rainbow notepads, and revoltingpencils with pink and yellow teddy bears on them.I suppose a child’s taste is bound to be rather differnt. I seem to remember liking the mostgrotesque pictures of long-eared dogs with enormous teardrops in their eyes when I was her age. She’llgrow out of it one day.
4. Sure! Graet Choice!
Later at home...
1. Dad can you please the DJ for Katy's Party?
3. Why?
4. Beacause Mom is really unwell, and that it would be toomuch for her, and that she needed as much peace and quiet as she could get.
