Here is my City meets Suburbs experience - my son has friends from the "city" NW is considered the city right - anyway...
Door bell rings:
Suburbs: Oh wow - your early - come on in.
City: Yea - I was so surprised it only took me 25 mintues to get here and I gave myself an hour. Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize you were having a party.
Suburbs: Oh no - this is not a party - do you want a glass of wine - these are neighbors. This is x and y and z and a and b and c. They just live around the corner.
City: Oh no I am good. Um - where are the kids - in the basement.
Suburbs: Oh yea the kids - I will text them. They are playing manhunt or capture the flag or something.
City: Outside? I didn't see them.
Suburbs: Yea -- they are down at the field or the woods so I will just text them. Are you sure you don't want a glass of wine.
City: Oh no I'm good I will wait outside - I don't want to interrupt.
Suburbs: Alright, let's go outside they should be here in a few minutes.
Odd silence.... Odd silence... Odd silence
City: Where did you say they were. I think I will get in my car and drive around.
Suburbs: So they are either at the field or the woods but unless you have 4 wheel drive ummmm - gulp wine - they will be here in a sec.
Frantically texting - GET YOUR ARS HOME NOW!
20 kids round the corning running their little ARSes off.
Kid 1: What is the matter? What happened?
Suburbs: Oh CityKids mom is here and she was getting a little worried I misplaced him. (knowing look between kid1 and suburbs)
City: CityKid we need to go NOW. The Suburbs are having a party.
Suburbs: No really they are just neighbors - not party. We were really glad you could join us CityKid. You were a very good addition to the gang.
CityKid: Thanks can I stay, come back, be freeeeed - pleeeeeeeeeease.
Suburbs: Take a look at your schedule you are welcome back any time. Oh yea - don't forget to check for tics!
