My sister is sleeping over my neighbors lake house tonight while my mom goes out to dinner with my dad and their friends. I'm stuck home with my grandma who is old and boring (no offence) and I don't want to spend a night playing cards and listening to her oldies music. I see her every week already so it's not like I don't spend time with her. My mom already said NO FRIENDS. So I can't see a movie with my friends or any stuff like that. I really want to sleep over my neighbors house with my sister. They didn't actually invite me but I have slept over plenty of times before and they enjoy me sleeping over because I help them watch the kids when they want to have a couple of drinks. My mom thinks it would be rude for me to ask them if I could come too, but they are the type of family that doesn't get offended if you ask. My mom made a deal with me. She said I could call my neighbors and ask to sleep over if I could make up a really good excuse why I should sleep over that's not cheesy rehearsed or pushy or sounding like I just need a place to stay. They live right next store so I can easily ask them. So if I'm going to sleep over I have to call my neighbors and ask them but not make it seem like I'm just looking for a place to stay. I want to mention the whole baby sitting thing but I don't know what to say. Help on what to say when I call and ask?
