False advertising on my part maybe, but I thought the whole conversation was quite comical.

I'll set a place for you at the kids table with us. That goes for anyone who reads this really.

Standing invitation for Sunday lunch until further notice.

God, and I'll probably be eating greasy diner food or greasy take-out. Should've flown home for Easter and went to YOUR house.
