Meeting the hall group leaders and getting excited with them about hall groups.

Lucy wandering around all lost trying to kill time with an hour left before she can go to church. Telling her to go to read a book. Lucy surfacing from her room nearly two hours later.
Me: "Why are you here?"
Lucy: "Eh?!"
Me: "What happened to church?"
Lucy: (confused look, looks at her watch) "Oh no, I forgot to go to church!"
Me: "Oh dear" (laughs a lot)
Lucy: "Now I'm in trouble"
Me: "Yep. Or there's grace."
