Here is my opinion....
First of all the whole thing is not so hush hush
now, as it has been posted on the world wide internet.
But since it is going to be a back room chip thing and
it is not on the up and up to begin with what the heck
difference does it make if the dealer is of age. Breaking
the one law is no different than the other. On the outside
people will see that it is not a real money game anyway
so it is ok for a person underage to deal the cards.
You said, your sister found the job first, right? But what I don't quite
understand is if it all happened so casually, why are your mom and sister
upset with you in the first place?
You have a job as an editor. You are pregnant and should not
be on your feet breathing second hand smoke for hours on end
in the first place. I say let your sister have the card dealing job. And if she
needs a day off hear and there let her and the owner know
that you are willing to fill in. But that having given it some thought
and discussing it over with your husband and friends, that you have
decided that it would not be in your best interest at this time to put
yourself and baby boy Blakley dealing cards at a poker table in the back
room of a bar.
Just my opinion!
