Bill was to work a half day today. We have a joke about half days. How may hours are in a day? How many hours are in a half day? If you only worked 8 hours, you didn't even do a half day, right?
"I'll be home for dinner," he promised Billy.
I sighed. Audibly.
I think I even rolled my eyes. How does the song go?
You make me...promises, promises...
"Mom!" said Billy. "Make dinner at 4!" A great idea. But it won't work.
I left about 5:15 pm to go get the pizzas...with coupons I got two large take and bakes for $7.21. Not bad. Bill always calls when he's on the way home, but he hadn't called yet.
Knew you'd never keep...promises, promises...
By the time I got back, he had called. He won't be here when the pizza is done, but it's better than most nights. And nobody will burn the roof of their mouth.

Our joke is that an 8 hour day IS a half day at the army
Totally dislike half days.
