Mom: Well it's a better gift than any you've got me.
Dad: I beg to differ. I believe I bought you that necklace that one time.
Mom: Oh I'm sorry. I must've forgot that. It was only 24 years ago. Since then however-
Dad: Oh fine I'll get ya something nice this year. Way to go son. Your timing is impeccable.
Roger: Anytime dad. Anytime.
Mom: Should we tell him Stan?
Dad: Tell him what? Oh yeah that.
Roger: What?
Dad: Well, your mom and I invited the family over for Christmas.
Roger: That's great.
Dad: Hold your horses boy let me finish. We also decided to renovate the house. The house will be in pieces while Christmas is going on.
Roger: Okay so I guess we're having at Uncle Ron's like last year then eh?
Mom: Well not exactly. You see. Some of the family already booked flights, and they did an e-ticket thing and can't get them reversed. So we have to have it here.
Roger: How?
Dad: Well that's the fun thing son. We want to use your apartment.
Roger: What? Are you insane. Fit that many people in my one bedroom, one bathroom, tiny kitchen, smaller living room apartment.
Dad: It would mean a lot to your mom and me.
Mom: Now you don't have to but-
Roger: No it's fine. We can have Christmas at my place. Just as long as I get to hang myself afterwards.
