Teacher: Does anyone know who Peter, James, and John were?
Kids: Yes! Apostles!
Teacher: Do you know when they were apostles? During what time?
Kids: ....silence.....
Teacher: Anyone?
One brave girl: Umm...the 80's?
{i had to cover up a gigantic snort of laughter at that point.}
Teacher: How can we talk to Jesus?
Kids: Prayer! Texting!
Wouldn't it be cool if we had Jesus' phone number?
We could text JESUS.
--goes on for several minutes--
Teacher, trying to regain some control: Ok, but, if your cell phone battery dies, you can't text. And guess what? You can always pray!
One thoughtful boy: Well....yeah....I suppose prayer is better than texting.
{they should put that on a pillow or something.}
This next one happened over in my husband's class. Good to know his primary lessons are sometimes as hilarious as mine.
Chris: So, when Joseph Smith was first shown the plates, he couldn't have them. Do you know why?
Kids: Why???
Chris: Because he wasn't ready for them yet.
Kids: ...confused looks....
Chris, trying to come up with a metaphor: Okay, so it's like driving a car. Do your parents let you drive?
Kids: No! Bahaha!
Chris: Well why not?
Kids: Because we're not old enough!
We're not allowed!
We can't reach the pedals!
Chris: Well, Joseph Smith couldn't "reach the pedals." He wasn't ready to receive the plates.
..lesson continues....
...lesson ends....
Chris: So, who can tell me what we learned today?
Kids, laughing hysterically: JOSEPH SMITH COULDN'T HAVE THE PLATES BECAUSE HE COULDN'T REACH THE PEDALS!!!!
{well played, Chris, well played. good luck getting them to forget that one.}
