Bare Tailed

The church Christmas play was a success. It was exciting since it was my daughter, Hadassah’s (Haddie‘s), first one. She was a little sheep and had to crawl up the aisle with the other little sheep. Unfortunately, her costume was a little big, and halfway up the aisle she lost her pants. Think of how one of us would be if our pants fell down in front of a couple hundred people. Horrified wouldn’t quite cover the feeling. Did she cry? She didn't even bat an eye. She flipped over, gave everyone looking a big cheesy grin, and pulled them up! She turned around, unfazed, and continued along. My little trooper…uh…sheep…er?
