Passage Two P106
Just a few weeks ago, Lizzie and her kids went off to dinner at some friends’ house , and when they got there ,the friends were not home , there was no dinner cooking , and they knew with a dreadful certainty that there had been a horrible miscommunication somehow.
They could just drive quietly away , except for one thing : Lizzie’s husband was supposed to meet them there.
The problem now became : If they waited for him , no doubt the hosts would come home , and they’d feel so bad about the misunderstanding that they’d insist on making dinner and Lizzie would feel awful . But if they didn’t wait… then Lizzie’s husband would show up and not know that this was the wrong night.
Well , they couldn’t stay there and they couldn’t park elsewhere on the street to wait for the husband because the hosts would come along , spot their car , and then they’d really have a lot of explaining to do . (They couldn’t call him on the cell phone, because cell phones hadn’t been invented yet.)
So Lizzie and her kids did the only possible thing : They drove a while to a place where they were sure her husband would pass , and they waited for him there , to flag him down and explain the situation.
Only it was so dark they couldn’t really spot his car . The oldest son had to flag down each passing car--in the freezing cold—to make sure it wasn’t his father’s . After about 10 cars there was finally the end . The son got back in the car , sighed , and said , “ Well . At least we’ve got our health .”
