"Steve, the ball game starts about six. I figured we'd leave about four, get there early so the boys can look around. Why don't you just come over to the house about that time. We'll load up and go."
"I... "
"What? You still want to go don't you?"
"I've got so much to do around here."
"It"ll wait until Sunday, won't it?"
"My house needs cleaned. And there's weeds everywhere."
"Ah, man come on. Take a little break."
"Nah, I can't. Really."
"The boys sure are going to be disappointed."
"Yeah. That's why I never had kids."
