I need a practical execuse

I have been thinking about good lie to execuse. My cousin and his wife will be in newyork tonight. I have not seen him almost sevan years. I asked my mom if it is a rude. She said that i should keep in touch at least for couple hours. I ashamed because i really dont want to involved that kind of relative meeting. i am so confused. What i know is i dont like to talk to him or listen his old stories. He thinks he is the one that everyone has to be proud of him. If i meet with them that will be pain of... I will decide tonight what i will do. If any of you guys has believable lie just tell me. i will try eventhough i am not a good lier. The last thing, last seven years he never called or mailed me, what do you expect me to do? Actually, after i shared my feeling with you i felt better, this blog stuff is a kind of group theraphy :))))
