In the past, when Rhymes-with-Tennis's mom said "I'm going to [local Italian restaurant/bar]," after the PTA meeting, I would have waited for her to also say, "Are you coming, [Mommy's Nintendo]?" which she wouldn't have done because the invitation was implied in the original statement, right? So I would have gone on home, wishing I could also have gone to [LIR/B] but not wanting to seem pushy and assuming. But when she said it last night, I said, "Me too!" and went and had a beer with the ladies. And I didn't feel pushy and they didn't act like I didn't belong there and we all had a good time. And PhD will be so proud of me!
