Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / W Bruce Cameron novel, A
English term or phrase: they come by on Tuesdays
“I don’t believe this. You asked to be left alone. You hated the babysitter.”
“I hated her because she was a drunk! One time she fell asleep in her car in the driveway.”
“We’re not having this conversation again. If you’re going to imply that I was in any way a negligent mother than I’ll just call social services and you can live in an orphanage.”
I turned in circles a few times and lay down on the soft rug. The shouting made me anxious, though, and within a few seconds I was back on my feet.
“Sure, that’s how it works. You just leave me in a box on the front porch and they come by on Tuesdays to pick it up and take me to be an orphan.”
“You know what I mean.”

За этими "вторниками" что-то скрывается? кто-нибудь знает?

Reference information:
Возможно, что когда-то ребенка оставили именно во вторник, и была небольшая вероятность, что его вообще подберут в этот день. Тогда появляется смысл. Но порыться надо.
