Working Late

Mummy usually works late, sometimes as late as 11 at night, as a result of the high demanding software job. As a result many evenings when Ankit comes home with Papa he wonders where Mummy is. The usual answer Papa gives him is "she is at office, baua".

One day, Papa picks Ankit up from school. He tells Ankit that the plan is to go buy some things and then go pick up Mummy from work and then go out. Two hours later, they are both sitting in the car in front of Mummy's office waiting for her to come out. It is dark outside and very few people can be seen.

Ankit: "Where are the worker people?"
Papa: "What do you mean worker people?"
Ankit: "The people who work in the front who allow you to come in and out"
Papa realizes Ankit is talking about the receptionist.
Papa: "Ankit, they all go home at 5 o'clock. It is 7o'clock now"
Ankit: "Why was Mummy punished?"
Papa: "Punished?"
Ankit: "Yeah, she has to work late when worker people are gone already"

Now Mummy is home every evening and Ankit is worried that like Papa he will still be studying when he turns 30 :)
