She bought the tickets without knowing about the strike. We accepted the gift without knowing about the strike.

She’s a Republican and still wants to go and cross the picket line. She doesn’t care.

My wife understands my hesitancy, but says that it’s too late, and so we have to go regardless.

The kids are really looking forward to it.

I just feel so horrible. But I have to go with them.

What can I do to make amends?

    There’s always the explosive diarrhea excuse.

    Or see how long it takes to get kicked out for proselytizing to the other patrons about the strike.

    Whatever you do, at least look the strikers in the eyes as you walk past.

      I shook hands with the strikers outside and said I was sorry, and that I would donate to the strike fund. My kids were really looking forward to this and are too excited.
