Mark is getting good with the preformed argument. He called me at work today.
"Mom... because I have never ever been to a Sock Hop in my entire life and really feel that I've been missing something, I'd like to go. [Oh god not a social thing with lots of people] It's at 6:00pm tonight at my school. [Oh darn, I won't be back from getting Eliza yet] I know you won't be back from getting Eliza by then, but Chantelle's mom said I am welcome to go with them. [Huh? Hm. So I don't have to go...] I'd really like to go. If I do a load of laundry first and pick up twenty things from the living room, may I go?"
My response was "Uhhh... yes!"
