What's really going on in that mind?

Occasionally, Troy takes one of the kids along with him on a work trip, when it's appropriate, and if they want to. They know they have to sit quietly during his presentation or meeting, and they're always good at that. Well, this last one, surprised them, as Troy thought the meeting would only be about 2 hrs, and it turned out to be 6 hours! Seth was the lucky one this time. He did great. And he got McDonalds afterwords, so that's worth it to a kid, right? Even though it was somewhat of a torture, I still think Seth liked going. (Maybe it made him feel tougher.)

Here's a peek into what was going on in his mind somewhere towards the end of that grueling test of patience for him. Troy let him use his laptop to pass the time, (with earphones to listen to some stories/music) and Seth did all this typing, even the "seth:" parts. Made me laugh when I read it. I didn't go, so no pictures.


seth:how much longer will this meeting last?
dad:I dont know
seth:dang
seth:this is realy boring
seth:I thoght you said that it would last three hours

seth:arnt ya?

Is this what they're thinking during church too? Even though it's only 1 hour?
