He: "Steve, we really want to see you!"
Me: "Well then, come on down. You know where I live."
He: "Well... we were thinking it would be more special if you came to see us!"
Me: "No thanks. I've always done the traveling each time we've met."
He: "Are you saying you don't want to see us again?"
Me: "I do, but I'm tired of doing the driving."
He: "But we want to see you again!"
Me: "And that's fine. Come see me. I'll be here when you arrive."
He: "But it would be better if you came here."
Me: "For ten years now, I've been the one to do the traveling. You've never come to my home, even when I've offered to pay part or all of your travel. It's your turn to expend resources in my direction."
He: "Well... we can't do that right now."
Later...
He: "Yeah, all those times we hosted Steve in our home, but he never invited us. What an ass!"
