Shut Up Lady!

On Sunday, the objective of my class was to teach that Jesus was God's son. Well, at different times during the class I would ask, "Who is Jesus's dad?" And my class would look at me with blank stares. **I teach adults....just kidding, I teach the three-year-olds*** Well, after much discussion (me blatantly giving the answer repeatedly to the kids...over..and over...and over....) One of them finally, tentatively, said (like it had just occurred to them) "Heavenly Father?". To this answer, I cheered and jumped up and down like a moron. Well, after that reaction, they all wanted to give the right answer, "Again! Ask Again!". So I asked again and again. During this, there was one little boy who blatanly refused to give the right answer.....he stubbornly gave the wrong answer each time. So, at the end of class, we went to get a drink and when we got back I wanted to check and make sure that what we learned hadn't washed down the drain. So, I asked again, "Who is Jesus's dad?" And this little boy said, "Heavenly Father ALREADY!" As if to say, "Enough Lady! Enough!" Too funny!

Haha! Now I'm curious what some of the wrong answers may have been...

"David Seville"
"The Man in the Yellow Hat"
"Bologna Sammich!"

Kids are too funny. A little different than teaching Laurels, eh?

That is way cute! Gosh that kid must have older sibblings because that is so young for such attitude but then I think of Carson and how at 15 months he is already throwing Jayson size tantrums?

I am sure my kid was one giving ridiculous answers. Just know, I try...

That wasn't my son was it? I only ask because he has been known to have that kind of attitude and well, use that phrase...
If so, he gets it from his dad. :)
An really, we do teach a few things in our house that aren't directly related to bodily functions...

That was my boy! And, no, he doesn't have older siblings.

It should be noted that he got in a fight the next week and got a bloody nose in class. We love primary! :)
