A couple weeks ago, Juma has two birthday parties to go to, both of boys in his class from school. One boy invited everyone in the class, and the other boy's parents invited only a few kids from the class--and asked for discretion so the other kids wouldn't feel bad.
In between the two parties, we invited Juma's classmate over to play. When it was time for us to leave for the party, we told his friend it was time to go home.
"We've got somewhere else we have to go," I explained, avoiding telling him that we were headed to another birthday party.
"Yeah," Juma piped in, "we won't tell you because you're not invited."
I pulled Juma aside, "Honey, that's exactly what we didn't want to tell him."
Oh well.
