cunning plan

My cunning plan to ask Ted to clean the kitchen last night was totally thwarted by him getting stuck at work for an extra hour and a half or more and me not getting home from the movie (which turned out to be “The Way”, not “Labyrinth”, because the latter was unexpectedly sold out when I arrived) until 9:30.
