Oh! It is going to be a fun weekend!

The phone rang at 7 a.m. this morning. We generally wake up at 8. Yeah, we have the kids trained for a late schedule.

For a minute I thought "who is that?" Then I knew.

"Jenny?" said my mother-in-law "I missed my flight." "OK," I said. "I'll probably be there at 3," she said." "OK," I said." "I called now so you wouldn't go to the airport to get me at 9." "OK," I said. "I'll call later and let you know what is happening. I'm on stand-by." "OK."

In my groggy brain I wanted to say "but, see, I wouldn't have gone to the airport at 9 ...."

Because your flight was getting here at noon.
