Dinner on the fly
Hi,
I'd be so thankful if anybody help me to make out of the following italicized part:
"It's dinner on the fly because somebody has to be at choir practice at 7 P.M."
My speculation is that since the mother is so busy with her children's stuff so she has to have her dinner in rush. Is my surmise right?
Regards,
Iman

Yes I think your "surmise" is right. a dinner on the fly, means a dinner on a rush. Because "being on the fly" means "being hurried" up or rushed

Hello Ayadi Ghait,
Please do not think that I am picking on you, but I would like to emphasize, once again, how important it is that you construct your sentences properly. Your level of English is evident. You should know by now how to use commas, and that each sentence begins with a capitalized word and ends with a period (full stop). I ask you to do this for the learners, and for no other re
