Rodrigo and Antonio are looking at me like I'm crazy, or like I'm an idiot, or both.
"But you said 'yes.' You said you wanted to go to the movies with us," Rodrigo says.
"Oh no," I say. "You didn't buy me a ticket, did you?"
I thought back to the previous conversations about Malefica, the movie with Angelina Jolie. What question did I think I said "yes" to when I was accidentally saying "yes" to an invitation?
That I knew the movie they were describing? That I liked movies in general? That I think Angelina Jolie is hot?
It was my understanding that Rodrigo was going to the movies with a female friend and some cousins. I wasn't even sure whether Antonio was invited but it would have been awkward and none-of-my-business to clarify that matter. I figured the twenty-somethings were getting together while I had been invited to dinner with the fifty-somethings and had accepted.
"You didn't understand what you were saying 'yes' to?" Antonio asks me.
"No," I say. "I mean, yes."
