Please weigh in and help me settle a difference of opinion here. I wasn't feeling well or up to cooking tonight, so my good friend/neighbor called and offered to pick up dinner for me and my kids at KFC. She said she had a coupon for a meal, and could pick it up after she got a few things at the dollar store. She asked if my 10-year-old daughter wanted to ride with her, to get out of the house for a while, and my daughter wanted to go. Keeping in mind that these places are just 5 minutes from our home, and they left here at 5:30, was it reasonable for 7:30 to come and go without them being back or having even called? Her cell phone was disconnected, so I couldn't call to check on them. My friend finally calls me from a pay phone at 7:30 to say they are about to go pick up the food!!! I was fuming. Neither of my kids had eaten. My friend's excuse was, "Well, I got to walking up and down and up and down the aisles, and I didn't think I would take so long." My daughter was perturbed too.
