Awww guys!!! Those attendants sucked for sure :( We had a mom with two young children whose husband didn't attend meetings at all, much less the conventions, so whenever I saw her I would help her out with the then-four year old, play with him, walk him around a bit... when the baby one got a little older, I also walked with him and tried to relieve the poor sister. Years later I see her at a DA (by this point I was OUT but accompanying the family) and she comes to me all happy and excited to see me and thanks me for all the help I provided her when I was younger, saying how I'll be such a great mommy and how she's very thankful. You guys shoulda seen the looks the other young sisters around us were giving us hehehe. So that's my best memory right there :)
I HATED the fact that the young uns would congregate in corners or around the exits and gossip. And those of us who were alone or total 'loosers' who walked with their little siblings (me!) were always teased and talked about, and nobody would do a damn thing, and they were obvious about it as well. OR when if you wanted to make people think you were 'coveted' you'd get someone of the opposite sex to walk around with you. If they saw you guys walking around, then next meeting there would be rumors you two would be dating and stuff, it made it very hard to hang around with then friends because of the gossip :(
BUT HANDS DOWN, I LOVEEEEDDDD THE HOTELS!!!! My mom is kinda freaky about cleanliness and smoke, so she never cheapens out and goes for the 'high brow' hotels, and that meant... HOT TUB AND POOL :p oh and the gym room too!!
