Is that an invitation for something?

[bawlbellow]

If it were, I would assume you have a previous engagement.

[rathereffable]

Right. It's such a pity that I shall miss out on a splendid party, but what can one do when one's little sister wants to watch broom-straddling instead?

[bawlbellow]

Make her wait until she's old enough to take herself?

[rathereffable]

That would be terribly cruel of me -- she's only twelve, so she'd have to wait for two more World Cups before she's of age and can go on her own. Would you have me torment my sister like that? She'd blackmail me.

[bawlbellow]

Yes. I think I would.
