Team what?

I took the kids early to Vacation Bible School because I didn’t want to battle the long lines with all the kids.  I got the oldest two settled just fine, but when I went to Grace’s section I had a problem.  Her paper said that she was on team “F.”  There were leaders holding up different letters, but there was no “F.”

I stood around for a little while.  Finally, I asked some of the other leaders.  One of them told me that maybe the team leader hadn’t shown up, and that I should go inquire with the coordinator.  I took the youngest three all the way back to the front of the church and saw that by now the lines were extremely long.  I was not about to get behind every one.  I went back up to the same lady that had checked us in and said, “Excuse me but I am told there is no team “F,”  I was going to say more but noticing the look on her face I just waited.

“It’s my fault,” she said, “I’m a dork.  When I wrote the teams down I thought it was this column right here containing the letters “F” and “M.”  She swallowed, “That was the column for male and female.”

Oh I loved it!  That was my laugh for the day.  That is something that would happen to me.  I also loved that she told me what happened.  She could have just switched the letter and I would never had known.
