I've been Amy/Jaime-d

When I was a kid, Amy Comtois and I ran the show at ye old Baptist church. (Others thought they were in charge, but no.) Amy and I were inseparable and ran all manner of relatively harmless schemes.

One of our favorites was to try to con our families into eating lunch together after church. Some weeks, they'd come up with this on their own. But when they'd say, "No, not this week. We're just going to go as a family." That's when we got to work.

It was pretty easy, really. One of us would find out where the family was headed for lunch. "Oh, Captain D's sounds great, Mom!" Then the other would gently persuade (insist) that the only place she wished to have lunch was innocently the same. Voila! Everyone had lunch together and we were happy.

Today at church, I heard Sam talking Stu into Freddy's for lunch. Sounds good, I thought. But as I'm walking out the door, my good friend Gabe says, "Collin really wants to go out with you all to lunch sometime but we just can't today because we have these other plans..." Wait, I thought. I didn't invite Gabe to lunch. That's right. We'd been Amy/Jaime-d.
