Church Musings
March 17, 2008 — lookingforlifeshumorMy younger son is so verbal.
Sometimes we wonder why we ever taught him to speak (and then - why he speaks so LOUDLY).
During the sermon while in church he pipes up with important questions like - “Mommy, why do your boobs hang out your chest?” and “Why is Pastor so old?”
As we walk up for communion/blessings he’ll ask ”Why do you get snacks and I don’t?” and, with wide eyes, referring to the communion wine, “Is that real BLOOD in there?”
Our favorite was when, during the sermon he called up to the pastor… “Are you done talking yet?”

Well, my children would tell the lady at the supermarket “we can’t buy that much because my parents don’t have money”.

We call our son, Bubba, Dr. Decibel Repeato because he repeats everything a gazillion times — LOUDLY!
Also, my husband once tried to explain that Jesus is actually in the wafer (we’re Catholic) and he misunderstood and thought that the priest was Jesus.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Now *I* have another Southern blog to read.

My son once said that the pastor needed to go to Walmart during a sermon. Within five minutes the pastor wrapped it up…lol.

It’s kind of like Walkabout’s “Little Miss” playing with scissors– on one hand you’re glad they’re talking! On the other you wish they wouldn’t!

I was rolling! You brought back some great memories, thank you. When our son was about 7, he dropped the song book on the new tile floor during a quite time in the service. “Damn book!” I wanted to wring his older brothers’ necks on the spot. The things they absorb when you don’t think they get it!
