semperfionaSo this morning, in order to better convenience Ray, we met him in St Peters to do the kid exchange. He forgot her medicine, and said, "I'll be home at 3, you can come by and get it."
So at 3:45, I'm in front of his house and there's no sign of him. I called his cellphone. "Are you going to be home anytime soon?"
"No."
"You said you'd be home at 3."
"I was. It's four now and I just left. I've been home since one o'clock."
When I quoted his statement of the morning back to him, he said, snidely, "You're always so easy to deal with."
Now tell me. When you meet someone somewhere other than their home and they say they'll "be home at" a time, do you understand that to mean leaving home at that time or arriving home at that time?
And why, when we didn't come "in time" by his standards, didn't he call me or just drop the medicine off at our house before going out with his friends?
