You have allready made the first mistake. My wife knows there are 16 must see games every football season (that has been especially true the past 12 years). She knows not even to ask me to do anything on these days. She also has learned that I'm no fun to go shopping with so she never ask me to go. I will go every once in awhile to make her happy but not on game day. Your 17 so its time you establish some rules for your daily life and the first should be watching the skins play. The second should be when forced to go shopping drag you feet and be real impatient and she will start to ask a girl friend to go instead. If you start with these first two rules to manhood life will be much easier and you will never have this dilemma again. One other good note is to keep a copy of the skins schedule in your wallet and when asked if you can do something and its during a game say no I already have something planed for that day.
