Mouth of Babes 12/2

We had a smaller class today which was a relief but the lesson was: I can show love for animals.

Enough said. 

(P is on one side of me and K is on the other. I am trying to tell Nephi how many copies to get of a handout and I hear this conversation...)

K: Hey, (tapping my thigh over and over again), Hey, ummm, Hey! 

P: Don't call her "Hey"! (Sternly) Teacher....Teacher....

--

Bishop: (Holds up a Book of Mormon) What is in this book?

I: PAGES! (He is in the sunbeams class in front of us.)

--

(Nephi interviews a few of the kids asking them questions and recording it on the phone.)

Nephi: What's your favorite animal?

C: Um, a squirrel. 

Nephi: How old do you want to be when you grow up?

C: Um, 88. 

Nephi: What do you want to be with you grow up? 

C: Um, sell water softeners.

(I would describe an animal and they would guess what animal I was describing.)

Mallory: I have a bushy tail and I love to run up trees. 

P: Umm...MORT! 

Mallory: No...

K: What's a Mort!?

P: It's a bush animal...(duh)...from Madagascar.

(We have a little girl in our class whose parents are divorced and she comes every other week and missed a few weeks. We walked into sharing time and I welcomed her and told her we missed her.)

K: Um, what's that girls name?

(I tell her.)

K: Do you think we should have her say the prayer because she missed a few weeks? 

Mallory: Yes, sure. That is a great idea.

These kids never cease to amaze us. We are in love. 

Oh, and stay tuned for next week. We've been asked to be Joseph & Mary in the Ward Party nativity scene....Yeah, looking forward to it.
