Our babysitter charged us
for eight hours when she
only worked four.
She usually comes at 6
and leaves around 10.
That's the standing
arrangement.
Friday's invoice said 4
p.m. to midnight.
I texted her Saturday
morning.
"Invoice says 4-12. You
weren't here at 4."
She replied: "I was
around. You guys weren't
home yet."
