At the entrance to our compound is a mini-market called the 24/7. You know where this is going, don't you.
The 24/7 market has been quite handy since the nearest grocery store is a 15 minute drive. The kids like to walk or ride their bikes down to buy treats and I can get things I need like water, milk, and fabric softener. It saved my bacon once when I was able to buy some much needed popcorn.
The other morning I realized we were low on bread and milk and Cricket volunteered to ride her bike down to get what I needed. It was about 8:30 am. She returned with no bread and no milk because the 24/7 was closed.
So whose idea was it to name that market 24/7? What exactly does 24/7 mean to an Egyptian? I guess I'll have to ask one.

It was the one who rode my bike down there and half way my bike broke and then I walked my bike to the 24/7 and it was closed! What a problem! So I walked all the way back home walken with my bike my bike is broken and no things I was going to get. Horrid day in my opinion, bike broken, walk home, and no groceries! And i ride my bike like almost everywhere I go.
24/7 means all the time. Except for before 10:00 AM, after 7:00 PM, and a couple of hours of lunch break somewhere in the middle. To quote Calvin and Hobbes, "We may both be speaking English, but we're sure not speaking the same language!"
