Sounds like my dad, Mom hauled us 5 to church, dad stayed behind.
Yep...mom hauled me and brother to Sunday School and church...and left dad behind....tho, he was left behind with instructions about Sunday Dinner...mom had it all prepared, she left instructions for dad as to when to put things in the oven, what temp, etc...
So when we got home from Sunday School and church, dinner was ready, and dad stood there with a big grin on his face, proud that he gave us such a delicious meal...
