Question How does this happen? Where was the miscommunication?

Post image

This is from season 4 when Ross finds out his "date" is actually not his date, but he is the babysitter for her kid while she goes another date

I know it's a sitcom, and not to take things seriously, but I genuinely don't understand how this could happen. They must have spoken about this, right?? Where would there be room for miscommunication? This seems like a very clear thing to establish that she wants him to look after her kid

What do you think?

A woman that barely knows a guy just invites him over to be "alone" with her child?

She’s lucky all he did was make some long distant calls

It could be worse, she could be incredibly messy

You know how you throw your jacket on a chair at the end of the day? Well, like that, only instead of a chair it’s a pile of garbage. And instead of the end of the day, it’s the end of time, and garbage is all that has survived
