The Primary Funnies are 1,2,3...

I am not sure that I have mentioned this before but I am Primary Chorister. I have been for about 6 months. It has been one of the hardest callings for me. I don't like to sing in front of other people and I have a hard time being in front of other people sometimes. Even though I have struggled I have really come to love the calling because of the growth I have seen come from it. I have also had prayers answered on how things should be done. It has truly helped me grow and now I can say I truly love it.

The best thing I love about being Chorister is the children. They warm my heart. They give me the best smiles each week and I love to see each and every one of them. They also give me the best stories to tell each week. This week is no exception. I will start with one that the sunbeams teacher told me happened in class.

There is an incredibly personable 4 year old in our primary. She is outgoing, so cute, and at times a little adult. She says the funniest things in earnest. Most of the time it is towards the end of primary she yells out " are we done yet?". This week her funny story came from the prayer she gave in class. She started out like a normal prayer and then she goes on to say, " please bless my dad that he may have a good day so he won't be so pissy all of the time...". Her teachers said she was absolutely serious and not joking at all when she said this. What a character!

The second funny I have for this week was during sharing time when we were talking about how Joseph Smith translated the Book Of Mormon. The counselor asked the primary what tool he used and the answer that was shouted out was " The Urine and Thummin".

It sure was a day for kids saying the darndest things!

Underwear Brothers

I heard the funniest story the other day of something that happened at a family members house. I will change to names to protect the "underwear brothers" as they are now called. We will just call one, little boy, and the other big daddy. If you are a visual person and need to see this, picture big daddy as Kevin from the Office and little boy as that short kid from The Middle.

Little boy loves to come and stay over the weekend at big daddy's house. They play video games, watch movies, and laugh all night long. Well on one of these nights big daddy got little boy laughing so hard that the unthinkable happened. He peed his pants. This was the only pair of underwear little boy had brought so it was quite the dilemma. So little boy and big daddy put their heads together and decided what to do. They took the underwear to a sink and rinsed them out ( or so we hope, no one really know for sure). Then they decided to put the dirty underwear on the space heater in big daddy's room to dry off (gross, I know). They then fell asleep. A little while later big daddy's daddy was upstairs and smelled something funny and burning. He went down to big daddy's room to investigate. There he found a pair of little boys underwear burning on the space heater. He woke up little boy and big daddy to ask what was going on. They told him the story and then he asked the question we were all thinking. If little boy's underwear was burning on the heater then whose underwear was he wearing? Big daddy loaned him a pair (hopefully clean, no one knows about that for sure either). I feel I must explain the height and weight of these two. Little boy is about 4'2" and about 54 pounds. Big daddy is about 5'6" and 280 pounds. I guess it was quite a sight to behold seeing little boy wearing big daddy's underwear. Apparently, he had tied the top off with a pair of shoelaces. After he got done laughing, big daddy's daddy took little boy to the store and bought him some underwear. It was now time for little boy to go home so he was told he could take the new underwear home. His response, " I think maybe I should keep a couple pair here for the next time I come over, just in case."

When these two get together it is always an adventure.
