PS. Why is Tiffany being mentioned in this thread?
PPS. Kathy - I'd use a cricketing analogy if I could but no on here would understand it. So it's tennis instead (with a bit of cricket, sorry!). After I serve and hopefully get the ball in the other person's court, then it is up to them how to deal with it. There is no demand. It means that person deals with the situation the best way they can. They can ignore it or play the ball. In cricket, the former is called "a leave" and is done by the batsmen when a delivery is not dangerous and only ends up with the bowler using up their energy. Sometimes the strategy works, other times it doesn't. In this case I think, as the batsman, I've managed to get into the head of the bowler and that's never a good thing for the fielding team (in baseball, that's the defense).
