I've Been Had

So, I'm sitting on the stand, ready for Sacrament Meeting to start - everything is ready, except the speakers (Chaelomen & MJ) are nowhere to be seen. The text message exchange goes like this:

Me: Donde esta?

Chaelomen: I'm not sure we'll make it today.

Me: What's up?

< No reply... I start pulling together notes so that I can talk fill 40 minutes... my First Counselor is gone and my Second Counselor filled in for a no-show last week. Then Chaelomen and MJ walk in and sit down, and a message shows on my phone: >

Chaelomen: I think it's the Plague cough cough.

So, be careful when asking members of your family to speak. You may get more than you asked for. However, the talks were definitely way above average, not that I'm biased.

Yeah, sorry. Feeling a little bit of guilt now. Not so much that I would do anything differently though.

MJ said...

I'd feel guilty if we hadn't shown up... It's funnier still that the last text didn't show up until AFTER we came in. :) Ah, fun and games.

Kudos, Chaelomen!
