Out of the Mouths of Babes

So, I (Tina here)am the primary chorister at church. I love it! It is one of the best callings EVER, I think. It is amazing to hear their sweet innocent voices singing such beautiful songs full of truth, of Jesus, and of Heavenly Father. It is wonderful! Today we sang Love is spoken here. We haven't sung it since October, but the senior primary blew me away and the spirit was so strong as they sang it...INCREDIBLE! So, these wonderful children are a joy...BUT...you never know what will be coming out of their mouth next. Basically it is the junior primary where this is the case. Sometimes you have to be very careful about what kind of questions you ask. And other times even the simplest question, they will just say what they want to say. Let me share a few of examples. We were learning some song and I asked what a word meant. They all love to raise their hands, so I pick a child and I get responses such as, "I had diarrhea all day last night!" or "my dog died", or "Can we play a game?", or "you look funny", or "I think we should be done with church now"... Some other personal favorites include: The primary president asked how we can obey our parents and one little sunbeam answered, "My daddy says be quiet or he will Thump me...and he Thumps hard!". Then there is the little adorable Korean sunbeam girl that walked up to me in the middle of a song and told me she is fat. Another is when we were working on the song, "IF the savior stood beside me" I asked what they would do if the savior was right here with us. I got some beautiful answers and then there was the one, "I think I would tell him to help me clean my room, then we could watch a cartoon together." They are so fun!
