Sticky Situation

It's Erika's birthday and her parents want to take her out to dinner.  They tell Erika that she can invite a friend to join them.  But Erika has two best friends, Mary and Bridget.  Erika can't decide what to do.  She doesn't want to hurt the feelings of the friend she doesn't choose.  What should Erika do?

Ok I am just going to get to the point. I think she should just pick the friend she has known for a longer time. If she knew both of them at the same time, then she should just shoose the one who treats her better. If it is STILL the same, then just have a playdate with both of them.

Erika shouldn't invite ether one of them.

I think she shouldn't choose either of them cause it wouldn't be fair so she should just go with her family.

Erika should either ask her parents if she could bring two friends to dinner and if they say no she just should not bring friends if she doesnt want to hurt their feelings.

I think Erika should ask her parents if she can bring two friends and if thet doesn't work then see which friend doesn't have plans.

Erika shouldn't bring her friends and make it fair. Unless she likes one more than the other, she can say she cancelled it and tell the friend shes gonna bring not to say anything about it.

I think that Erika should pick the friend that she has a better relationship with or the friend that she's known for a longer period of time.

What I think Erika should do is either try to invite both her friends if her parents agree or ask both friends and tell them about her situation and then choose one and do something with her other friend another time

I think Erika should pick the friend that she plays with alot or tell her parents can she invite 2 friends

I think she should pick the person that she'll have a better time with. Or she could choose the person her parents like better. I know that's what I would do because I have friends that are really close to me, but sometimes they're kinda rude to my mom so... Anyways, she should choose one of the people for the reasons I said [does that sound braggy] and tell the other one that she'll pick her next time.

I think that Erika should take the friend that treats her best. For example, Erika should take the friend that likes her for who she is. If they both treat her well, then she should beg her parents for them to take 2 friends. Afterall, it is her birthday right?

Maybe she should just not go with anybody just with her parents.Because it wouldn't be fair, because just bringing 1 best friend and not tellg the other one? Probably the other best friend will get MAD....
