I am so proud

One of my proudest moments as a father came this weekend when I talked with my oldest daughter on the phone. She went down to San Diego with her aunt Lisa, newly off her mission, to accompany her as she spoke at a singles ward down there.
“So how was it?” I asked.
“Dad — I experienced the most boring thing of my life.”
“Oh yeah? What was that?”
“I went to Sunday School.”
(HA HA!)
“What was so boring about it?” I asked.
“Because it was just ‘blah blah blah’,” She went into this deep “Goofy” type voice and said, “we have kept our first estate, we have to keep our second estate — blah blah blah”
I was cracking up. Then she knocked it out of the park:
“The only interesting part was when two guys started arguing about something.”
Yep. That’s my daughter. Ten years old.
(I’m so proud)
Hillarious!
Children can be so perceptive sometimes. After 18 mths of squirmy baby on my lap, I was glad to put him in nursery so I could enjoy SS and RS. Unfortunately, I realized that being baby-less just made the class seem longer. So, now I’ve volunteered to be the permanent substitute (b/c our ward refuses to call primary teachers) for my son’s CTR 5 class. Time never goes slowly in those classes. I’m pulling my son off the walls, and telling a little girl it’s not appropriate to talk about her little brother’s pee-pee, and calming the crying child who only wants the snack at the end. Not a dull moment. Perhaps that’s why the two guys arguing was so interesting to your daughter. It’s a little more familiar for those in primary. . .
I think all Primary kids should have to sit in an adult class every once in a while so they realize how much better Primary really is
Good to hear from you, Glenn. You were off the radar for a while, glad your back.
I didn’t know that they taped my Gospel doctrine lesson and broadcast it in San Diego. I will have to look into getting some royalties.
