Why, thank you! It gets better though- it has been my policy when I take
the Gang o' Girls (up to 6 teenaged girls, and yes, I'm very brave) to
events, that they _must_ put in service time- in the kitchen, serving,
waterbearing at tourneys, whatever. Gets them out and participating, and
it teaches them just how much goes into putting an event on. I even make
them go shopping with me before an event so they can see just how much
it costs and how to budget and manage food, etc. Heh, heh, heh...
education, masked as 'fun'... I'm an eeeevil mommy...
