A Conversation I Just Had That Could Almost Be a Monty Python Sketch

Upper West Side Mom: I would like to schedule a make-up class for my son.

Me: Ok, great! Is there any particular day or time that would work best for you?

UWS Mom: Oh, anytime really.

Me: Ok, let me look at our schedule. How about tomorrow afternoon at 4:00pm?

UWS Mom: No, Wednesday's don't work.

Me: Huh. Okay.... It looks like there's a Friday at 12:45pm.

UWS Mom: Actually it really needs to be in the morning, like before 11:00.

Me: Right. Well... many of our morning classes are full. However, I think we could make space in a class Monday morning at 9:00am.

UWS Mom: WHAT!?

Me: What?

UWS Mom: That's so EARLY!

Me: *long pause* So... not an option?

UWS Mom: Is there anything else?

Me: Hmm.... Maybe Saturday or Sunday?

UWS Mom: *horrified look*

Me: Right, well then I think Monday 9:00 is really our only option.

UWS Mom: *disgusted sigh* You don't have anything later? But still before 11:00?

Me: No, I'm sorry.

UWS Mom: *disgusted sigh* Are you sure?

Me: Let me check again. *pretends to do something on the computer* No.

UWS Mom: OK. Monday at 9:00. I guess.

Me: Okay, all set. We'll see you on Monday!
