Woof!

One full example

One line isn’t enough.
They ask again.

Your sister-in-law

“No wine? Wait… is there some big announcement coming?”

(Everyone turns to look.)

1 · Soft

The only announcement is that this sparkling water is excellent. Cheers!

2 · Firm

No announcement—I’m just not drinking tonight. That’s all there is to it.

3 · Final

What I drink isn’t a clue to anything. Please let it go.

4 · If they push again

Nope, nothing to announce. Still just water.

5 · Change the subject

Did you two ever finish the deck? Are you doing the patio next?

Free “holiday boundary” lists give you one line. This gives you five, because they always ask twice.
