A couple and their kids arrived early to a function, and what they discovered is hilarious. The family was genuinely surprised and a little taken aback by everything that occurs when you are not running behind. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what the family learned and discovered when they were ahead of schedule.

No one wants to be late to anything. When everyone in a room stops what they are doing and immediately turns around to look at the people entering after the posted start time, it's more than a little embarrassing. That horrible feeling of all those eyeballs on you as you struggle to find a seat, we've all been there before, and it's not fun.

However, sometimes being late is unavoidable, especially when you have children. Despite all the planning and preparation, children possess an innate ability to slow you down. It never fails that when children are involved, an unforeseen crisis will result in a late arrival just about every time. However, as is explained in a clip posted on YouTube, one family managed to defeat those odds and arrived early. What they found surprised them.

The husband and wife explain that they had a soccer game, and they and their crew arrived early – a whole eight minutes before the start time.

"It confused every single person in our family so much that when we got there, our son said to us, 'Why is everyone leaving?' Everyone's getting here," the mother said.

"They were arriving," Dad added. "Did you know how many parking spots are there when you show up early? There's a thing as a warm-up before the soccer game? Like, they actually, they go out and they just, like, kick the ball back and forth."

Later in the clip, Dad mentioned another previously undiscovered perk of arriving early: knowing if your children are with you as you approach the soccer field.

"And it's so much less stressful when you don't have to constantly say, 'Guys, you with me? You with me? You behind me?'" he said.

Psalm 127:2 "It is in vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sheep."
