Help What Do I Dooo....(PLEASE READ)?

Just think up an excuse to talk to him, knock on the door, and start talking. If its something that would get him out of the house and take a bit of time that would be even better ie my lawnmower is broken, could you help me fix it???? - break the thing first if you must just break it in such a way he can fix it but will need a few minutes to do it (not that you have to use a broken lawnmower - just an example)
