How To Get Out Of A Family Christmas Party

Last weekend, my daughter and wife went to a family Christmas party in Birmingham while I got to stay home. Why was I not there?

Two years ago, we were at the same Christmas party (my wife's aunt) and as we were leaving, someone was doing something to my daughter (ticking her, maybe?) and my wife's aunt said "don't do that to her, she will start stuttering, too". Out of respect for my wife and her parents, I did not say a work and just continued to leave. Needless to say, I have avoided this annual event since then.

It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be at times.
