mission: accomplished

so my mom and sister are planning on coming out here to visit me on her fall break so she can visit a few culinary schools, and take me out to dinner and a few shows. so my mom sends me the dates, and i realize today that the weekend they are planning on coming out is halloween weekend. not a good thing. i can't get wasted and dress like a slutty rainbow brite with my mom and little sister there. so i call my sister, mention casually that i'm looking at which show to buy tickets for, and which shows is she interested in. i throw in that we may be going to see wicked on the 28th (saying that instead of saturday on purpose), and she freaks. "what, isn't that halloween weekend?! i don't want to be gone during halloween!" i say, "well, it doesn't matter to me, i can still go out after i put you and mom to bed." "oh my god! i have to get mom to change the trip! i'll call you later!!" my mom calls me later asking if it's ok to reschedule the trip, because carolyn doesn't want to be in nyc that weekend. suuure i say, yeah she's a drama queen, i commiserate. wow- i am a devious bitch. love it.
