I am having my brother staying tonight with his girlfriend, who i like very much.
He didn't want to pay to eat out so i said it didn't matter and that i'd buy some food in and make us a meal instead.
I decided on burgers with all the trimmings - salad, chips, corn on the cob, etc etc.
Well my brother will be here in a few hours and i mentioned what was on the menu and he basically said that he wasn't sure his girlfriend would like them.
"Well, she likes burgers but i'm not sure they are one of her favourite things and i don't want her to force them down if she doesn't like them. Maybe we can bring a pizza for you to cook for us?"
I told him that i would feel offended if they brought their own food when i just spent a fortune and if she doesn't like the burger it's fine and she could just eat the rest.
Now i feel awkward about it and don't know whether to phone up and tell him to bring a pizza and i'll just throw their portions into the freezer for a later date.
If they do bring pizza, i don't want to give them anything except pizza. No extras.
