Allison was a good housekeeper, a great cook, and an excellent mother. When the phone rang she answered it in a pleasantly sweet voice.

"Hello?"

"Hi. I forgot to tell you I'll be in meetings all day today and won't be home until very late tonight. Don't wait up."

"Oh, another late night? Well you just make sure you have something to eat but I'll leave a plate in the fridge."

"That's okay; they're planning on ordering in. Love you. Bye."

"Love you too. Bye."
