"It's Fantastic Tuesday!" Scarlet squealed with excitement as she drove to work.  Tuesday was the only slow day of her work week and Tuesday was the only day she could leave work at a set time; 4:00 P.M.  But this particular Tuesday, there was a hiccup at work and she wasn't able to leave until 4:30 PM.  Scarlet drove to after school day care to pick up her two kids.  The traffic was heavy as they drove to the fast food restaurant to get their dinner. 

It was a warm spring day and Scarlet could feel her face getting red from the heat and frustration.  Their final destination was the bowling alley; she wanted to be there in time for practice before her league began. Scarlet frantically placed her order and waited in line at the drive thru; what seemed to be forever, for the cashier to give her the total cost of the order she just placed.  Cars behind her were honking their horns.  

Scarlet's daughter slinked down in her seat and said, "Mom!  You just embarrassed me so bad!"  Scarlet looked over and her daughter's face was as red as a tomato.  "What?  How did I embarrass you?" Scarlet asked.  Her daughter replied, "Because you just gave the order to the trash can!"
