Adventures in Primary

Bishop, holding up a picture of the Salt Lake Tabernacle, asks if anyone can tell him what the building is. After several wrong guesses, he gives the answer, whereupon the girl sitting next to me leans over and says, "Oh yeah, I've been in that hibernacle." (Matt was quick to point out that the building does, indeed, become a "hibernacle" for many a warm, sleepy Conference-goer.)

Later, in class, we're talking about consequences. After discussing the effects of our choices for a moment (if you don't water a plant, it dies; if you stick a pin in a balloon, it pops, etc.), I ask the class, "What happens if I choose to stay up too late and don't get enough sleep?" They shout, "You'll overreact!"  "You'll cry!"

Smart kids. Except for the part where they thought "agency" had something to do with being a spy...

And I just have to throw this in here; there's a girl in my class who says to me every week (no typos here, this is how she says it): "My birthday is Nothember 24th, re-nem-ber???"

Gotta love those kids.

So 2 of Paul's little girls were conversing during dinner. Skye (5) was teaching Adrie (3 1/2) how to say my name: "Zoo-sanne. Zoo-sanne."

Love it. You are adorable.

I love kids. There are NO family secrets when you have a kid in sunbeams. . . they tell it all as it is. . . or at least as they see it!
