Mark was telling me about his substitute teacher at dinner last night. I asked if his regular teacher, Mr. Robinson, was sick.
"No," Mark said. "He had jury duty today. But he'll be back tomorrow."
I nodded. "Jury duty, huh? He might be out for a long time if he gets picked."
Mark shook his head. "No, he'll be back tomorrow."
"How do you know?" I asked.
Mark stared at me like I was an idiot. "Just look at him," he replied. "He's got green hair. Who's gonna pick him for their jury?"
And...he's got a point.
"You're right," I said. "I'm sure he'll be back tomorrow."
