• "Listen, hugs from an aunt are good and all, but I'm really hoping to spend time with the confetti cannons and noisemakers before I go to bed."

• "This looks like a really nice New Year's Eve meal, but I don't see a place for me!"
• "I don't have the heart to tell them I just ordered five large pizzas to be delivered — and charged it on Dad's credit card."
