Why did Cindy say she'll be back in time for Miles' birthday?


She seemed to come back like a week or so after Miles' birthday.

You must’ve been drunk when you watched this movie. You were probably blacking out when Marcy the neighbor from across the street came by and said that her father‘s heart attack kept her away from home for three weeks. There was basically an entire scene dedicated to this information.

I'm talking about earlier in the film when Cindy was talking to Buck before she and Bob leave for Indianapolis, Cindy mentioned "Miles' birthday, forget that, we'll be back by that time".

She had anticipated being back by then. However, the reality of the situation kept them away longer.

Pretty easy stuff here

I always felt like when Cindy anticipated to be back by then was likely either on an early Wednesday or Thursday morning and Miles' birthday was likely on a Saturday morning.
