history: My mother-in-law offered to babysit our kids about a month ago.  When the day finally came, she acted like we had never asked her. Recently_comma_ my wife and I needed a babysitter for the evening_comma_ and my mother-in-law offered to watch our kids. That was nice of her. Did everything work out? No_comma_ she forgot.  Which_comma_ unfortunately_comma_ is typical! Oh no! Did you guys stillhave a nice evening?
current: Yeah, it worked out okay to take the kids with. It just wasn't quite as relaxing.
next: Yeah I thought of that. well, the kids probably loved it!
