Kids & meetings

I'm spending her a vacation day with the worlds' most interesting 8 year old. Today she's going with me to a meeting that has childcare....mom bag packed with books, crayons/paper, juice box, bottle of water sweater, & a sports bar. I have been at meetings where kids were quiet, and where they were disruptive. Geez I hope this works, first time for me with a kid/chickens may be roosting.

I gave her the bag, and started the speech about being respectful of the meetings and quiet, she stopped me. "I've been going to meetings with Grandma since I was a baby. "
Worlds Most interesting Kid possibly has been to more meetings then me.
