Michael was really stupid asking Carl to take him to the dinner! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Why the heck did he ask Carl to take him first instead of his older brother? JJ had every right to be hurt.

Because he didn't take J.J seriously in that Kind of way. Carl on the otherhand was older and he had a lot more respect for Carl and took him more Serriously. I don't think he should have asked J.J anyway because J.J was not that much older than him. It wouldn't make sense to ask a Older Brother, probably a UNCLE but not a Brother. They were only 5 or 6 years apart

I really don't think age has anything to do with anything. JJ is family and Carl is a stranger. That was wrong of Michael.

I still think J.J was not old enough, yes he was family but not old enough to be taken seriously as a Father Figure-lol

I agree Brian. My mother died when I was 6 and from that point on, my older sister was also my mother. I didn't like that she was (rebellion) but as I grew older, I was glad to have her be my "mother" as well as my sister. Age has nothing to do with it. When mother's day came around, I gave my sister cards, gifts, etc., I still do.

Michael should have asked J.J. first.

Michael looked at J.J as a clown and that's why he asked Carl because he started liking him a lot. In his eyes j.j was just-"A GOOFY OLDER BROTHER"

True, but we are not saying how Michael looked at J.J., we are saying, WHAT IS RIGHT, what should have been done.

But that's the answer to the Queston of why he didn't ask him-lol I know he should have but that's why he didn't

I agree, most of the time when a father dies, the eldest son takes on that roll. So I think that Michael should have been considerate and asked JJ first. Just because he didn't think JJ wanted to go, shouldn't have made a difference, being asked and thought of is always nice.

Exactly. I felt so bad for JJ. I would've been hurt too had I been in his shoes!

He didn't take J.J seriously so that's why he asked Carl instead.-lol Michael probably couldn't even imagine himself being at a Father and Son dinner with his older goofy brother

But he could be there with some man he barely knew and was only his boss? I could see if Carl married Flo by that point, but he wasn't.

Michael connected in a way with Carl that he didn't with J.J, so he asked him first.
