Parents’ Night Out

Joe: Can you get a baby sitter for tonight?

Susan: I don’t know. Why?

Joe: Well, I thought we could go out for dinner and then go to a movie afterward.

Susan: I can call Debbie and see if she’s available. She usually doesn’t like to sit during the week, but she might make an exception.

Joe: Well, do that, and then call me at the office if you have any luck.

Susan: Okay, but don’t get your hopes too high. It’s hard to find a good baby sitter these days.
