Marie returned home from work and asks Charlie what they’ve been doing as he takes time out from his chores to make her a cup of tea. He lists his chores, mentions making lunch and that they spent an hour or so watching TV before embarking to the big pile of ironing. “Charlie you’re supposed to be teaching him, not watching TV… don’t you think your time would have been better spent showing him your fact sheets?”
“Er… yeah, I guess.”
“Well tomorrow, make sure you do.”
“Is he coming back tomorrow?” Charles asked. “Are you?” he said to Mike.
Mike shrugged at the same time that Marie said “Yes… today, tomorrow and Friday.”
