Things Overheard in Primary, Vol. 4

- 3 year old Sunbeam: giving a talk in sharing time, with help from her mother, started talking REALLY loud into the microphone, then whispering, then REALLY loud again, then whispering again. Back and forth at least 4 times.

- 7 year old giving a prayer for sharing time: Thankful for this day, all the plants, the trees, the animals, and our friends.

- 5 year old in class. Teacher was talking about a funny animal story (her brother’s dog’s birthday party): I went to Lilydog’s party! Other teacher and me, simultaneously, ‘In Iowa? YESTERDAY?’

- 7 year old giving opening prayer for primary: Please bless we can have a good day tomorrow.

- 6 year old, during singing time, looking at pictures of different clocks – identifying a grandfather clock: It’s a VAMPIRE clock!

Things Overheard in Primary, Vol. 3

- 5 year previously told us that his dad was on the naughty list was giving a reason why, "Sometimes my dad tells us to go to sleep at night in a monster voice."

- Different 5 year old, in response to my teaching companion saying she had made homemade marshmallows for her family party, "I made some of that for my grandchildren!"

"... You have grandchildren?"

"Yes. Natalie and (some boy name... Don't remember). They loved it."

- Same 5 year old saying the closing prayer, " thank you for this day. And, and thank you for this day. And thank you for this beautiful day. Aaaaannnnnd, thank you for this day. And thank you for this good day."

Dangit

I guess I should resign myself to the fact that I'm going to have snot on my shirt for the next several years. 

Gross.

Dangit.

Double GROSS.

Good thing I love him.

A Few Things

Riding your longboard down the middle of the road, stupid.

Wearing dark clothes as you longboard down the middle of the road, REALLY STUPID.

Things Overheard in Primary, Vol. 2

5 year old (in our class closing prayer): I hope that nobody don't get in wrecks.

5 year old (while coloring after the lesson [we were giving the people on the paper 'happy faces']): His eyes are big as EYEBALLS! I mean bowling pins! I mean BOWLING BALLS!!!

5 year old (apparently hearing about Jesus' crucifixion for the 1st time): But why did he die? 

Because they killed him? 

But why did they kill him? 

Because they didn't like him or the things that he was doing. 

That is SOOOOO SOOOOOOO MEAN! 

Yeah, it is. It's not fair, is it? 

NO!

Memories

Can we just enjoy the fact that these are the first two things I remember about my Matthew?

1. He was bagging at the check stand next to me and tried to make me smile. I totally shut him down. And then he didn't talk to me for a few months.

2. He was in the break room drinking strawberry milk- GROSS. He then proceeded to tell me that it came from a cow on her period. DOUBLE GROSS.

I love that man.

Things Overheard in Primary

Sunbeam (while laying on the floor during singing time): Bow Chicka Bow Wow!

5 year old (while coloring in class {and in a Batman voice}): Get over here Tastyface!

Sunbeam (during sharing time) farted SO loud that his bumcheeks flapped on his seat- the whole room went crazy. And the primary presidency could not get them back. It was hilarious.
