Final Approach
My daughter's birthday is coming up but my mother has a scheduling conflict. She needs to be in another state (about 1-2hrs flight) for an dance recital that she promised she'd be in attendance for that morning.
If she drives, she can't make it back in time for the party. Mom wants to be at the birthday party, but a promise is a promise. My wife and I have tried to change the reservation date at the party location, but....alas, not going to happen.
When discussing the party date with my mom (after the fact) is when I learned about this dance recital. I asked where it is and she tell me and follows-up with "Are you going to fly me there?"
If our common purpose is for mom to make the birthday party, will this work as a legit reason to conduct the flight with mom paying a portion?
(note- MOST of this story is true; what's not true is that we were able to solve the jam and get another party date, but the story is better with a little drama)
