"Great dinner, hon." said Dad, kissing Mom goodbye, then giving a kiss to Sherre, Lizzy and me. "Don't wait up I    (A)     be home till after three."

I was disappointed to see him go. I missed having dinner together as a family.    (B)    Dad had to work nights, he and Mom ate early leaving the three of us to eat alone.

"Come on and eat, kids." Mom said after our homework was done. "It's hamburgers tonight."
