Is it wrong of me...

[tzikeh]

I'm flying to NJ tomorrow evening to spend Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with my folks (except Friday afternoon/evening I'll be visiting some friends).

Is it wrong of me to want to somehow find a way to convince my parents that I missed my flight and can't get another / got sick / am in some other way completely incapable of making it home, and just fly in secretly, sleep on someone's couch, and fly back to Chicago without them knowing?

*sigh*

I should never have told them I had this nice long break between semesters...

Wrong? It seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Nope, doesn't sound wrong at all. You could even make up a *special oppurtunity* that you simply MUST attend.

Let's get this story straight:

I sent you a round trip ticket, already paid for, and you're coming here, and it would KILL me if you didn't, and you don't want to have my blood on your hands? And it's 70 degrees here? How's that? Tell 'em my name. Give 'em my phone number. I'll tell 'em you're in the bathroom.

It's 65 in NJ right now (damn global warming).

The power of slash COMPELS you to do that very thing.

Not wrong. Quite possibly sane. (Says the person who has avoided holiday visits with her folks for eight of the last ten years...)

Have fun! Heh.

Well..hey, I say ditch them & come to my NYE fondue extravaganza and feel free to use my poor woebegone orphan status to any use you need.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Aww - I'll actually be back in Chicago for NYE because I have annual standing plans, but thank you for the invite!!

You are wronger than a wrong thing that is wrong.

Except for the part where I totally understand and would do just that if it were pull-offable.

You've suddenly come down with typhoid, perhaps?

If you do go, I'm happy to take you to the airport....

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

... wow, are you serious? That would seriously save me time and money.

Tomorrow late afternoon/early evening I'm free, so sure. It's a pain to schlep everything on a bus or train, and taxis are expensive.
My dad is here this evening, but he'll be off tomorrow morning. Give me a call tomorrow and we'll sort it out.
