Now I agree that even if YOU were wrong she should take one for the team so everyone could attend....
Mind you this does not take history into account and this is a limited microcosm, but I got this out of what I read.

No, we told her almost immediately. She bought the tickets in advance. My wife arranged to have someone else use the tickets. All of this took place in a matter of a few hours.
The issue is this: How many Ballet's are there vs. how many times does your Mother turn 75 and your father turn 80?
Again, this was 5 years ago, and I came across the thread and thought I'd update it with my sister's new antics about her 50th birthday and insane plans.
