Primary

Trent and I have taught the 8 and 9 year olds in Primary for the last 2 1/2 years now, and it's great! My cute Trent is the youngest of 4 in his family and I am the oldest of 5, so Trent is still learning what things you should and shouldn't say to kids. It makes every Sunday a new adventure haha. Here are some of the stories....

Trent is short...poor guy...and has been his whole life and is one of the things he is known for :) So in the middle of one of our lessons one of the kids pipes up interrupting the lesson and turns to Trent and says, "Are you a nidget?" Trent stops and looks like he is about to cry and responds "Am I a ninja? Heck yes I'm a ninja!" then the little boy says "NO! A nidget! You know, like one of those really small people?"
Yah he meant midget...Let me just tell you Trent's self esteem when down about 10 notches that day haha.

Another day we were talking about the Second Coming and how we will be made whole again. So this one little boy in our class is so cute and always has really good questions and comments raised his hand and asks "Why does God make some people look funny?" K what do you exactly say to that? So we asked him what he meant and then he proceeds to tell us how there was a boy that came and visited him at their school and he had really short arms and only 2 fingers on each hand but he could play the piano really good and then asks again "Why does God make people look like that?" and this was Trent's response...."Well you see...when babies are made the parents chromosones mix together and..." Me,"Whoa Trent that is not what he is asking." Trent, "I know I'm getting there. So anyways when the chromosones mix together sometimes they don't work..." and that was the end of that...all the kids just sat there with a look on their faces like what the freak are you talking about. Priceless. I think we recovered pretty well but I don't think they learned much from the lesson other then a new word.....chromosones............

Then this other time we were talking about the second Article of Faith and how Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden and this same little boy that always has good questions asks "What was Adam's punishment for eating the fruit?" so we tell them that he was sent to earth and he says " Well that's not so bad." so then we proceed to tell him about how the Garden was perfect and all this and how there was no running water and houses or bathrooms (trying to put things in perspective) so then he asks "Then where did they go to the bathroom?" so Trent pipes in "Probably by a tree, and they didn't even have toilet paper!" really Trent you had to through that in the mix? haha so then this little boys face gets this disgusted look and covers his face and says "I just had the worst picture come in my mind! Eww that is gross!" and proceeds to act like he is gagging...I don't know what he pictured in his head and I don't really want to but I don't think he got his question answered....hahaha
