It's Only an Hour

We went to the Christmas Devotional tonight.  Tracy announced we were leaving in about 15 minutes and anyone who wanted to go should be ready.  (After the fiasco we had a couple of years ago, our optional limit for this has weakened) Immediately we had a taker, Kestle'. Yeah, I think.  The rest of my children reverted into hermit crab mode.
Mom: Well, you have to wear a dress.
Kes:  OKAY! Can I wear the one I wore to church?
       (DANG! That didn't work)
We the proceeded to guilt a few others into coming with us. No nylons required and you can drive over on your own seconds before it starts.
Kes could not wait.  She was in her dress and in the car before anyone could talk her out of it.
She loved the count down until the broadcast starts.  Every 10 seconds, she would ask how much longer.  When the screen went black 30 seconds before it began, she asked with a shudder of excitement, "How much longer?"  I leaned over an told her after it started it would be about an hour. Her reply,"What the heck am I doing here then?"
