Be careful when you're talking about plans around the "Can I Come" kid. Even if you didn't invite him, he still won't read the room and say those dreaded words...
You'll be forced to make an excuse not to let him tag along, but it won't matter because he won't take no for an answer.

Dumb way of asking for something in a bar or diner, which gives the impression that you've never actually understood how to ask for anything. If you say: "Can I get a cappuccino?" to a barrista, they're entitled to respond: "You can if you want, but they actually pay me to get things for you and I suspect your job is better paid than mine, so why don't I do the getting and you do the asking..." You can always tell people who understand how to be a customer. They say: "Can I have a cappuccino?"
