I don't want to go.

Why not?

Because your family are such hard work.

In what way?

They just...I don't know...make me feel...like crap.

You're too sensitive.

I knew you'd say that. That's why I don't say anything.

Are you saying you're not going to come?

No, just that I'm not going to enjoy it.

Don't come then.

I can't do that!

You can. If it bothers you that much to spend time with my family, don't come.

I knew I shouldn't have said anything.

So why did you? So I hate it too?

Sorry.

Too late.
