Sometimes "I don't know" is the best answer. Think of all the yes or no questions you have been approached with that have made you feel uncomfortable, where it seemed as if you were in a lose-lose situation. I asked my mom if she would come visit her new grand daughter, but my wife and I do not want anyone to stay in the house. My mom said she would come if I paid for her hotel, and immediately I thought of many reasons to say either yes or no. What stopped me from immediately saying yes was the thought that maybe she wants to wait until Christmas. Usually if someone really wants to do something, they will pick up and do it. However, I didn't want to say no either because she would probably take offense, so I said, "I don't know." If she comes with the expectation of having her hotel paid for, then that is fine. If she decides to wait until Christmas, we will look forward to her stay! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jerrybanfield/support
