Favorite quote from today.

The Primary chorister gets up, and can't think of the song title.

She's shuffling through pictures and says,

"Today we're going to sing a song about the birds and the bees..."

I look up, and a substitute teacher laughs, which confirms what I thought I heard her say.

Me: "Uh, are we supposed to teach that in Primary?"


















Pianist: "There are no bees in the song."

Chorister: "There are birds in it! Whenever I hear the song of a bird..."

Whew.
One less thing I have to teach these kids.

We sang the "Watch Your Tongue" song in sacrament yesterday (Should You Feel Inclined to Censure). The bishop had never heard it, and alternated between shock ("they stole the music from that other hymn...!") and sheer joy ("wow, people need to READ these lyrics").

It was fun to watch. At the end of the hymn he asked me where he knew the tune from, and I almost said "the seamen song" but stopped myself just in time and said "the sailor song," lol. Even though the former would've been more accurate.

I don't know Carrot. I think lots of parents might heave a sigh of relief if they taught that in Primary and let the parents off the hook!

Good thing you weren't singing "Joseph Smith's First Prayer" it has both birds and bees. :)

You ought to keep that song in your back pocket for the time when you are ready to be released. I'm certain by the next Sunday the Bishop, under the influence of the children's parents, would have found a replacement by then. Good to keep in mind when headed to burn out city.

Adults say the darndest things.

Yup, nothing boring about Primary! Can't make that claim 100% of the time for those other auxiliaries' lessons! You're a doll and a mighty fine Prez, I just know it!

Nathan said...

I'm never going to be able to hear that song the same way again.

Suzee said...

Yup. This confirms it. I want to be in Carrot Jello's ward!
Slide over on that bench...

Hey, this week's FHE is on Reverence and I put together someone's Rever-ANT booklet for our family. How a Disobedi-ANT becomes a Rever-ANT. It's cute for the little kids, but I'm going to have a little faith that we won't be needing it again. You can have it if you want it. I won't be offended if you don't.
