It's been a fairly long spell since I've been to Primary. Since the time a former Bishop came to the knowledge that at 35 years old I had spent 16 years serving in Primary, I've been given a furlough of sorts. I admit, I've really enjoyed adult lessons, adult conversation, adult perspective. But what I realized this past Sunday as I substitute taught the six and seven year olds, I also miss the humor the kids provide!
Here's my short "Overheard in the Ward" style list:
"Does everybody know who the Pioneers were?"--"Yeah, they were just like Vikings, only they walked."
"Who can tell me what the Bishop does with our tithing after we've given it to him?"--"First he checks it to make sure its all there and nobody stole any."/ "He takes it STRAIGHT to Jesus...or does Jesus come to get it?"/ "He uses it to get stuff."
"Is anybody allergic to any kind of food?" (food is allowed for an object lesson, and an object lesson we had.)--"No, I'm not allergic to any food, just my brother."
"My lips taste like an apple-pear"--"What? Your lips taste like a black bear?"
"His nickname (middle) is Thomas? I thought he was named Dave" (he's really named Gabe).
"What is Christmas really about?"--"Its about Jesus, but we get all the presents we want."
"Mary, Mary, these kids are gettin' WILD!" (I thought to myself as singtime drew near an end and I realized I would have to keep them interested for another hour all by myself after they sang 'Mary, Mary, look at the child" one last time.)

Just like Vikings, only they walked

Man, I need to go to primary more often!
I am currently in the Primary- have been for about 15 years, with a small stint as Homemaking leader (which made me rush back to Primary). Those kids are the best, aren't they?
