Thursday managed to put Friday to bed only after a song about a coyote by an Australian childrens' group stopped playing in both of their heads. Well, it had started in Friday's, then he hummed it and sang along in Lorem Ipsum and the song was contagious.

Thursday and Logan eventually returned home and decided to bypass dinner.

But all in all, it had turned out quite well, Logan turned out to be a pretty good impromptu deputy and they'd capped off the visit ( Read more... )

As she turned the key in the lock and pushed the door open, Thursday ran over her mental checklist. Friday was being looked after and she had a good description of the babysitter's place in her left jacket pocket in case she needed to get to Friday in an emergency. All that was left to do was grab her traveling partner ( Read more... )
