I work with the Primary children (kids 18 mos to 11 years) at church. I'm staying home with Dude today, and thought that I would really enjoy the break. Well, I am enjoying the reduced stress level, but I'm finding myself missing the kids. So, I thought I'd post some of the funny things they have said.
Teacher: Heavenly Father has given each of us talents. What are some of your talents?
Boy (age 8): I have a talent for video games. I share that talent by letting people watch me play. They really enjoy it because I'm so good.
Girl (age 9): I think everyone should develop a talent for gymnastics. Because, you never know when someone will need you to use it.
(I can't tell you how many times I've needed someone to do a back flip or walk on a balance beam for me :) )
Teacher: (Talking about symbols) I'm going to show some pictures to you, and I want you to tell me what you think when you see them.
First picture - a heart
Class: Love
Second picture - a flag
Class: Our country
Third picture - a smiley face
Boy (age 4): Wal-mart!
Teacher: Does anyone know what "Divine" means?
Boy (age 4) - Yummy!
Teacher: (Teaching the song "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go") What are some places that Heavenly Father wants us to go?
Girl (age 4) - Wal-mart. (o.k. so this one was Princess. She did tell the class the story of Moses that same day, so I think that makes up for it. :) )
Teacher: Heavenly Father sent us to Earth with a mission to fulfill.
Boy (age 4) - My mission on Earth is take care of all the horses and tigers in the world.
I am so glad, truly, that I get to be around such wonderful kids every week. I'm grateful that I had this break to realize how much I really do love my calling and be reminded that it is all about these precious children. Hopefully I'll continue to remember when the stress creeps back in.
