gems heard in Primary, round 4.

As of yesterday, I'm done with Primary. I thought that I'd be a little sad about it, but I'm pretty excited to spend some time around adults and not be responsible for anyone else. ;) 

Without further ado, the last gems heard in Primary post:

For Sharing Time, the group had to act out something for one person to guess. We all started acting out picking an apple from a tree and taking bites out of it. The 5-year old boy who had to guess was confused...

Sister W: "We're picking something out of a tree and taking bites from it."
5-year old boy: "Um, a squirrel?"

-----

A 3-year old girl walks up to one of the counselors in the middle of her Sharing Time lesson, tugs on her dress to interrupt her, loudly whispers "I have two kitties," and quietly walks back to her chair.

-----

5-year old boy: "I wish I was 100 so I could go to class with the big kids. Well, maybe I'd be dead if I was 100."

-----

One of the 5-year old boys in my class was sitting in Singing Time with his feet together on his chair and his head bent down with his eyes closed, not moving a muscle.
I leaned over and whispered, "What are you doing there?"
The 5-year old boy opens one eye and squints up at me: "Yoga."
Another 5-year old boy overheard and stated: "I know 100 yoga moves!!!"

-----

3-year old boy: "My favorite candy is Star Wars!"

-----

Me: "Today we're going to talk about the Book of Mormon!"
5-year old boy: "What's the Book of Gorman??"
(He kept referring to it as the Book of Gorman all hour long.)

Sunday dress + gems heard in Primary.

I know you probably can't focus on anything in this picture other than my pasty white legs, but check out this fabulous dress from eShakti! Not only only does it have pockets (!!!) and a removable sash, it's customized. That's right, every single dress from eShakti is customized! I was feeling pretty fancy when I picked what neckline I wanted, my desired sleeve length, and the length of the hem. I'm really loving this dress, minus the fact that it's a bit hard to get out of it since the zipper is on the side and I chose a higher neckline. Oops. :) Regardless, I'm quite thrilled with how the dress turned out and will definitely be purchasing one in the future. Check out eShakti on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest - you'll be amazed at how different every dress is!

And now for some gems heard in Primary...

7-year old boy: "My pretend friend Wendy won't stop punching me in the back and it's getting reeeeeally annoying."

Playing Charades during Sharing Time:
7-year old boy huddled in a ball on the floor: "Guess what I am!"
*5 minutes of guessing ensues and no one can figure it out*
Sister D: "Okay, we give up! What are you?!"
7-year old boy: "Well I can't remember the name of it, but it's this animal in the ocean that can protect itself..."

Me to an 8-year old boy in my class: "You look so dapper today with your sweater and gelled hair!"
8-year old boy: "Ugh! All of the girls keep telling me that!!"

Describing the "perfect" world during Sharing Time:
Sister W to an 8-year old boy: "What would you guys imagine is in the 'perfect' world?"
8-year old boy: "A fountain!"
6-year old boy: "Streets for the cars."
A teacher: "Good schools that keep kids engaged and entertained."
8-year old boy: "Magic necklaces and bracelets that give you 30 wishes!"

I teach the 6 to 8-year olds at church and these are some of the gems I've heard recently.

Sister W: "What do you guys like to do when you're feeling reverent?"
9-year old boy: "I like to eat a banana and go serve someone."


8-year old boy: "Is church almost over? We're gonna go see Transformers after church but this is taking too long."


Me: "So let's review! What's the first step of repentance?"
7-year old boy visiting class: "What would happen if you murdered two people and then ran to your house and hid under your bed and blamed it on your twin brother? Dang it, there's a rock in my shoe!"


Sister D: "Do any of you have stories about your ancestors that you want to share with us?"
7-year old boy: "My grandpa fought in a war with George Washington but I can't remember which one."
Sister D: "Oh, did one of your great, great, great grandpas fight in the Revolutionary War?"
7-year old boy: "I've never heard of that, but I know he was in Korea or something like that."

Being in Primary sure provides some pretty funny moments...



Sister teaching sharing time:  "And now let's read Matthew 25:35-36."

*insert the cute voice of a 5-year old girl taking ten minutes to read the following two verses*

For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison and ye came unto me.

Sister teaching sharing time:  "Thank you for reading that.  Okay, I have slips of paper with parts from the two verses that someone will come up to the front to act out.  Everyone else has to guess which part is being acted out.  Who wants to go first?"

7-year old boy:  "I hope the naked part isn't in there.  I like to keep my clothes on, thank you very much!"

Sister teaching sharing time:  "Who can tell me what is going on in this picture?"

5-year old girl waving her hand about wildly: "The girl is blind and Jesus is healing her!!!"

7-year old boy:  "She's obviously sick, not blind, stupid."

- - - - -

Me:  "I'm going to read you a story about a girl who loved Jesus so much, that she spent a whole Saturday cleaning up her church building after it was hit by a hurricane."

*reads story*

7-year old boy:  "Sucks to be her."
