Rob Yaeger and Brent Corrigan (F&S P1)

Oh, it's not that bad.

Really? Have you seen our bank balance lately?

How about I decide what I want for my birthday?

Sounds good to me. What do you think, honey?

Here we go.

I want Noah to visit. I want him to come stay for the summer.

Well, it's true you haven't seen him in a while. And they are best friends.

Danny, I'm not sure that's such a great idea.

Why not?

Well, we have a lot going on right now.

Come on, it's summer. What do we have going on?

Okay, well, maybe I have a lot going on right now.

I don't know. You know my mother's been in and out of the hospital.

We don't really need guests living here right now.

Noah's not a guest. He's family.

And so is Scott. He's been Dad's best friend since high school.

You know, let's see if Scott can come along too. Make it a family affair.

I'm sorry, am I invisible here? I mean, do neither of you hear what I'm saying?

Mom, this isn't your birthday. It's mine.

Okay, fine. I have an idea.

Why don't we just invite his whole family? Second and third cousins.
