your answer to my question about "uninviting the director"
Hey, Razhie, you answered one of my questions and I had a question about your answer:

What do you mean, "offer him a way to gracefully bow out if he wants to"? How does one do that? How would YOU phrase it?

Maybe give some free advice about: Etiquette?
I mean offering him a way to not go to the play if he rather not, and know that he wouldn't be letting you all down.
I hope you have double-checked that the other adult is acceptable to your mom ;)
But this is what I would say:
"Hey Mr _____. I actually ended up finding another adult who could go with us to supervise. Of course I'd still love it if you want to come, I just thought I would tell you because I thought you might be a bit uncomfortable about it, that you wouldn't be letting us down if you didn't want to hang out with a bunch of kids."
I want to add, that I wouldn't even have suggested this if you hadn't mentioned in his question that he might be feeling a bit insecure about it. If you don't think he has any reservations or doubts about comming to the play, then I think you are stuck with him. You can't really 'univite', you can only give him a way out of event, if he didn't really want to do it in the first place.
If you think, or he tells you, that he is really excited, then all you can be is really excited to have him join!
