Heidi received a kind invitation from the family of two of her students, who are brothers, for a holiday dessert party. Unfortunately, the gathering is going to take place while we are out of town. It was an evite, and Heidi has no experience with those; it is I who handle most of our virtual social life. "What do I do?" she wanted to know. "Just click 'No'?"
"Yes, but don't worry," I told her, "you will have a place to make comments after you do that."
"Should I just say Unfortunately I can't make it?" she asked.
"Well, no," I answered. " Say something like, Thank you so much for thinking of me! It sounds like a really fun party, but I'll be out of town then," I suggested.
"Thanks!" she said.
"No problem," I replied. "I'm really good at turning down invitations!"
"Yes, but don't worry," I told her, "you will have a place to make comments after you do that."
"Should I just say Unfortunately I can't make it?" she asked.
"Well, no," I answered. " Say something like, Thank you so much for thinking of me! It sounds like a really fun party, but I'll be out of town then," I suggested.
"Thanks!" she said.
"No problem," I replied. "I'm really good at turning down invitations!"
