Meg is a bridesmaid in the early June wedding of one of her high school friends. The wedding is in Colorado. My parents and I are invited to the wedding, too.
I’m definitely not going. I’ve known the bride for a long time and she’s one of Meg’s good friends but we are by no means close; it is nice to be invited but I am taking a pass.
I told my mother as much, just the other day. We were standing in the kitchen and my mother was lamenting about whether her and my father would make the trip to Colorado for the wedding. She felt like she should go. But the wedding is right at the end of the semester, when she’s consumed with giving final exams and posting grades.
“You know what you should do,” I start, without much thought to what I was about to suggest, “you should buy Drew [Drew is Meg’s Wedding Date/boyfriend] a ticket to Colorado. Meg will have him there to keep her company and then you guys don’t have to go, either.”
My mother’s eyes lit up and she was like YOU ARE BRILLIANT. BEST IDEA EVER.
And so Meg and Drew are going to Colorado.
Meg owes me big time.

That is seriously an awesome suggestion. Best big sister ever!
Now what you should say is -- hey mom since you have financed X number of trips for Meg and Drew -- how about you send me to AZ for a weekend of fun. Feel free to replace weekend of fun with something way more graphic -- if you shock them enough they don't ask any questions.
LOVE what Kari said hahahahaha.
You totally get bonus super points for the awesome suggestion for Meg. How fun!
