There are several issues with this sentence apart from being a Natter or being badly-indented on a separate bullet level. The "date" quote was merely passed off as a joke or banter, the future event it wants to "reference" in the latter game is a "birthday party" event, Patty also replied to the offer, so more context has to be mentioned when comparing the two. At best, it can still be salvaged as a Hilarious In Hindsight example, albeit with some rewrite.
