Sooo, my husband tells me tonight that I need to get a set of "pelotas" because I do not know how to say NO to people. Shall I set up the situation?
How about this: I have this friend who has a son. :) Now, the son (let's call him Sam) had a birthday party at his house and one of the kids asked his mom if Sam could go over to his house after the party. Now, Sam doesn't really want to go over because he just met this kid and the moms don't know each other and then Sam's mom was kind of like, "well...maybe some other time?" (cough cough). Now earlier, Sam had invited this little boy to church because, well...because it's the right thing to do, dang it! You need to invite people to your church if they don't go, right? Now, this other little fella tells his mom that Sam invited him to church so the mom says..."well, how about this. Let's run home and see Daddy for a little while since he just got home from a trip and then we'll bring you back here tonight to spend the night and then you can go to church with Sam."
Ok...what just happened here? spend the night? what? So now----- what does the self-assured mother of Sam say...???? "Why....sure! Come on over. :)" Now Sam looks at his mom like he is going to crap his pants. And mom whacks Sam on the back to say...."oh this will be such fun!"
Now the deal is this. The little boy is precious and sweet as can be. However, I....oops...I mean Sam's mom (smily face) does not know this family from ADAM and is not real keen on spend the nights with folks we don't know. At least it's at my (oops) Sam's house. So what is the moral of the story? well...truth be known, Sam's family may be the only Jesus this little boy ever sees so maybe it's not such a bad thing that I (Sam's mom) am lacking "pelotas"....si??? :)
