Kids Say the Darndest Things Weeks 7 & 8

It has been a few weeks since I posted about the funny things our kids say in Primary. This is not for lack of humor, but because I have been trying to collect a large number to post at the same time. I realized the only thing I post nowadays are Primary quotes, so I need to save them and add more variety to my blogging life! haha That being said, here are some gems from the past month!

During music time, we sang a song and the leader asked how the children felt while singing the song.

Olivia quietly to Jeff: "It makes me feel all tinkly inside. But not like a tinkle in my pants!" Abrupt pause and embarrassed face like, " I can't believe I just said that out loud!"

Lindsey asks a question pertaining to the lesson.

*Hayes raising is hand like crazy and lifting out of his seat.*

"Ooh oh me me!"

Lindsey: "Okay, Hayes?"

Hayes: " Wait . . . What was the question?"

_________________________________________________________________________

Lindsey: "Do any of you have characteristics that you inherited?"

Cooper: "I have a butt-chin."

Rylie: "I'm cranky when someone wakes me up -- just like my dad."

_________________________________________________________________________

Lindsey: "You guys look cute today!"

Rylie: *dead serious face* "I always look cute."

_________________________________________________________________________

Hayes: "Why are you wearing those flip flops?"

Sariah: "I like them."

Hayes: *very seriously and emphatically* "Never wear those again!"

_________________________________________________________________________

Jeff: "Cooper, why are you such a good kid?"

Cooper: *submissively* "I just don't like getting in trouble."

While trying to emphasize the importance of the promise Heavenly Father made to Abraham when he said he would give him seed greater than the sands of the sea, we put a pinch of sand in each child's hand and asked them how many grains of sand they could count.

Olivia: "There are like seven thousand! . . . or a million."
Lindsey: "Those are pretty close numbers."

Lindsey: "Do any of you know who Abraham was?"
All the kids in scattered voices: "The president."

The bishop was giving a lesson in sharing time, and was passing out wooden tops for some children to participate.

Bishop: "Okay, who likes black dots?"
Hayes: "Oooh, me! Me!"
(sideways to Lindsey)
Hayes: "What are black dots?"
Lindsey: "Umm . . . just black dots."
Hayes: "Oh, okay."

Ice Castles

 

In January my family was able to go to the ice castle in Midway for Dallin's birthday. It was truly incredible! Sorry about the quality of these photos, but it gives you an idea of how magnificent it really is. Also, that guy next to me is pretty darn handsome.

 

 Jeff wanted to try and lick an icicle, but I wouldn't let him. This is as close as he got. :)

Public Restrooms

We've all been there . . . the dreaded public restroom. I don't say that because of germs, really, or because of smell. I mean that people are seriously stupid in there sometimes. And I drank waaaay too much water at work today, so I got to experience this 10 times today. Does this story sound familiar?

You walk in to the empty bathroom at work. The entire room is empty. You half-smile, and pick your favorite stall. Commence doing your business. Fifteen seconds into the business, someone else enters the bathroom. There are six empty stalls, but this person goes to the one stall that is CLOSED (yours) and tries to push it open.

You think, "Next stall, lady! The door is closed, the stall is taken!" But the person doesn't move. You watch their feet slightly shuffle under the stall door. They try again. "Seriously?" you think. "There are five other empty stalls!"

You look up, only to see an eye staring at you and your white thighs through the crack in the stall, and you quickly try to pull your jeans up and your shirt down.

"IT'S TAKEN!"

Finally, after getting a free peep-show, the person moves to the next stall. One of the five empty stalls with the doors hanging open!! Then, the whole time, you are trying not to do your business too loudly or awkwardly, because the lady clearly knows what you look like now, and you have to see her at the cubicle four down from you for the rest of your career.

So I know this is crazy, but for the sake of our society I have to say it. If the door is closed, there is a person with their pants down in there. Please use one of the many other open stalls, for the sake of everyone involved.
