Unavoidable embarassment

As some of you may know, I am a primary teacher for church (ages 5-6). I have about ten kids in my class, all but two of which are usually angels. The other two, I'm pretty sure may grow up to be the next Bonnie & Clyde. As a matter of fact, that's what I'm going to call them during this post.


Anyway, these two were relatively quiet this week during singing time, largely due to the fact that "Bonnie" was blowing on "Clyde" all through singing time. Well, as anyone whose ever sat through a Singing and Sharing Time hour in the LDS Church will tell you, between singing and sharing time there is a 30 second gap where there's mostly just silence. This time is usually filled by sounds of shuffling papers and feet while the sharing time teacher is getting ready to speak. Well.... Yeah... these 30 seconds are the EXACT time that "Clyde" chooses to tell "Bonnie" (with enough volume, I'm sure the relief society across the hall heard it) "'Bonnie' STOP BLOWING ME!!!!"


Yeah... I don't think I've ever seen the Primary Presidency's (not to mention every teacher in the room, plus the chorister and the pianist) heads turn that quickly.


I nearly had to leave the room I was laughing so hard!

Oh man. The BLOW word. I've used that incorrectly. In fact, I've thought of blogging about it before, so don't think I am a huge copy cat if I do. However, your kids sound hilarious. To hear a child say BLOW ME would be near death for me (cause I might just be laughing as hard as you were).

One of my old roommates had a twin brother and when they were toddlers at the grocery store their mom set the female twin on the checkout stand. Her brother yelled, "ALI, get your bagina off the table!" Their mom was so embarrassed she abandoned her groceries.

I saw your other post, since I use GOOGLE READER and it keeps up even deleted posts (bwah, ha, ha). Sounds like GIT is a insecure little coward.
