True enough. I haven't been a kid for so long I didn't think about it
that way ;-)

But now that you've got me going down memory lane... When I was a kid,
one of my Mom's friends used to say that it was 'fashionable' to be
late. Mom told me that was a load of BS. She said her friend only did
it so she could make a 'grand entrance' and feel important when she was
always the last one to arrive at any of their social gatherings. <g>
