Sunday is optimistic and exciting, but drinks too much and blubbers. Monday is boorish, rude, and beats his wife because dinner was burnt. Tuesday is meek, resigned to being looked over for a promotion she's been expecting for eternity. Wednesday secretly pees in the coffee machine. Thursday told him to do it, but avoids the blame. Friday is sleeping with Wednesday's wife, but still hangs out with Wednesday during Happy Hour. Saturday doesn't remember anything at all, not even breaking her father's antique watch.
Summer vacation is an endless string of Tuesdays. Weeks in June, July, and August have no beginnings or ends. There is no Monday because there is no work so that's a Tuesday. There is no Wednesday, no "Hump Day", no halfway point. Halfway to where? Summer vacation is an infinite string of elephants. It's like that old riddle: A man rides into town on Tuesday, stays three days, and leaves on Tuesday. How? Because his Tuesday is Tuesday Tuesday!
And it's certainly not Friday.
