The Broken Promise
You promised to attend a close friend's birthday dinner. On the same night, you are offered a ticket to see an artist you love. The show sold out months ago, and this may be your last chance to see them.
Do you keep the promise?
Then ask
- Would it matter if your friend said they did not mind?
- What if you had missed their birthday last year?
- How good must an excuse be before a promise stops counting?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
