I dunno, I've used the 'I'm sorry, but Mallory (or Holly, or both) have company over right now, you'll have to come back later to play with them' ploy plenty of times with the ill-behaved kids who live down the street. Not saying Devon is ill-behaved, just that it's possible to tactfully turn a kid away. Also, I find it rather offensive that even when Devon and Charlie go to Devon's house, they end up at your house. That seems like the mom's doing, if you ask me. And I don't think too much of that woman to start with.
