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. |
