236 Checkout at 11 a.m 離館時間上午11點
After a few rough years, I decided to let my son try the rigid structure of the military. Once he'd completed basic training, he took a two-day assignment. Midmorning on the second day, I was surprised to receive a call from my son, who was still at his hotel. “Why aren't you on the road yet?” I asked. “Well, I'm all ready to go, Dad,” he replied, “but the sign on the door says, ‘Checkout at 11 a.m.’”
經(jīng)過幾個不平靜的年頭,我決定讓兒子去接受軍隊嚴格的管束。他在完成基本的訓練之后,接受了一個兩天的任務。第二天上午十點多鐘,我接到兒子從旅館打來的電話,我吃驚地問他為什么還不上路。他回答說:“爸爸,我已經(jīng)準備好要走了??墒情T上的牌子說‘離館時間上午11點’。”
