Last night we got the reminder call that Ala is coming today to clean the house. She is Polish and doesn't speak much English, and her husband Tony doesn't speak much more.
(my phone buzzes)
"Hello?"
"Alooo!? Alooo? Dis Dabeed? Dabeed, dis Tony. I remind...Ala is comink tomooroo?"
"Yes", I say, "tomooroo is fine, I mean, er...tomorrow is fine". And thusly it is done. Our lives will once again be transformed by Ala's cleansing powers.
