Oh yes, it seems as though all our disappointments and punishments as children have been turned into treats as adults. Cancelled parties or nights out mean we can curl up at home and watch a film without having to get dressed up, being sent to our room would be a brilliant chance to read a good book, being grounded would mean time spent at home simply pottering, and going to bed early ... well that is just heaven :-)
I call it a gift of time if a plan is cancelled.
