It's been a bit since I've posted here. At the risk of getting a message about reviving a dead thread, I'll post this. This is an anecdotes thread and shouldn't become a dead thread. If it does, that tells me that, every time I post an anecdote, I should post it in a new thread. How ridiculous would that be (Yes, a rhetorical question - note lack of question mark).
I had two teens at the dojo waiting to top out the "Break 100 Boards" wish. I wanted to open up spots before travelling the next day. They arrived late due to after school activities etc. I sent an adult over and told them to read their cookbook (level 5 going on 6). They levelled up, and went home, leaving the two teens to be brought home by the police. At least they both made it home. It's really annoying when disappear instead of arriving home with a police escort.
