So could you use a good laugh today? Whenever I can use a good laugh I think back on some of the things we hear each week from our ewcKids! It never fails… here are some of the BEST… enjoy!
Teacher: Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and Job…What comes after Job? (no answer) Come on… starts with a P…
Lily: POSSUMS!
*******
Teacher: Ok class, so we learned last week that God told Adam that man was to rule over the animals, and take care of them. Who rules over us and takes care of us?
5-6 yr olds (in unison): WOMAN!
*******
During the weeks before the Christmas play this year, the kids were so excited. I had several different ones come up to me and say in amazement, “Ms. Lori! Guess what? I was in the store today and I heard the EXACT SAME SONG we are singing in our play! Can you believe it?”
Don’t you wish “O Little Town Of Bethlehem” was that new to you?
*******
Katelynn D.: I haven’t been baptized yet but I can be whenever I want to. My Uncle Will’s kinda the head of the church so he’ll probably make a special day for it!
*******
Anna T.: There’s Jackson and I’m gonna KISS HIM!
*******
Mikayla T. (prayer request): There’s only 2 good people in my class at school and I’m one of ‘em!
*******
We like to get a little crazy with our praise & worship upstairs- sometimes we break dance or do the “Bus Stop” if we’re feelin it! One Sunday we played “Take the Shackles off my feet so I can dance…” which happens to be a favorite, and the crowd went wild. Ok, maybe a little too wild. And it just happened to be Mr. Michael Dean’s first, maybe second visit to EWC. As the only 5th grade boy, he didn’t feel shy about voicing his opinion as the song faded… “Come on now, y’all need to calm down! I mean this is CHURCH!!!” Preach it, brother!
*******
Ella F. (PreK): … yeah, my daddy didn’t come today ‘cause he hadda go on a gig.
*******
Jackson, my kindergartener, runs up to me from the playground holding his side. “Ow, ow, ow!” “What’s wrong?” I asked. He replied, “I gotta cramp!” Only, he forgot the “m” in that last word. In disbelief that he would use that kind of language, I had to make him repeat the sentence 3 or 4 times before I finally figured out what he meant!
I know there are hundreds more that I can’t recall at the moment… but I hope you enjoyed these as much as I have enjoyed the precious ones who came up with them.
Have a tremendously BLESSED year… and don’t forget to laugh!
