Some women I know put the food on the hob. The food needs an hour. And they say, “In that hour I'll go and pick up the children from school.”
They leave the food on the fire, go out to pick up the children and are absolutely convinced they'll be back in half an hour. But then they find the road blocked. There's an accident. They spend half an hour at one point. Then Aunt Tesan arrives. And that's two hours already. The fire has gone out, the food has burnt and the house smells awful.
