I went to church to watch our children in the Primary program.(the roof is still ok). It was fun. They all read their parts without hitch and the kids sang the songs very well. I felt bad for my 4 year old because the Sunbeams were not allowed to have a speaking part. She was crushed. Fun day overall.

Our primary program was a lot of fun.
We were able to get 2 of 3 up there to say their lines. The third simply refused to even walk to the pulpit. she is really shy. Afterward she told us that she was nervous because she didn't want to mess up her line. I reassured her that people say dumb things at Church all the time. My wife was not very enthused with my pep talk.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Ours was today too. During the songs I noticed, how could I not, one of the kids wassingingyelling the songs more than is usual for a junior primary kid. After searching I found the kid. He wasn't singing for gusto or out of firm belief but rather to torment the kid in front of him who had his hands over his ears.Comment

Ours was today. ONe kid would not say his part a 4 or 5 year old so teacher literally had to say it for him. Ok songs were ok too. Though as missionary not favorite meeting to bring kids too.
Interesting many auxilaries had htere programs and most stopped. Primary kept it up and when wanting to get rid of it the apostle Howard said they did a good job so kept it.Comment

Ours was today and it had the most unintentional comedy that I can remember in a primary program. One kid stood up and said:
"The temple is important to my family because..." (puts his hand to his chin and ponders for a minute) ... "ah heck, I have no idea.""There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Ours was last week. Since our youngest is 14 I don't have a vested interest any more, but I enjoy it just the same.

I went to watch my nephew's program yesterday. I'm a sucker. I still find watching the Sunbeams sing "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" as a class delightful. (According to my sister-in-law, their morning getting ready for church was serenaded with "Jesus Wants Me for a Jumping Bean." Makes about as much sense, I guess.)Comment

Ours was yesterday, too.Originally posted by beelzebabette View Post
One of my daughters has major stage fright (the other two are total extroverts) so I agreed to go sit up on the stand with her during the program. I sat in the very back row in the corner so nobody could really see me, but I was one row behind the Puffy Check.
Their group went first and so they had to sit still the rest of the meeting while everyone else spoke their lines. My son was misbehaving the entire time. He was the kid that stands up randomly and yells "Hi, mom," he also did a few fist pumps (not fist rolls), and he even stood up on his chair. I kept telling him to knock it off but there is only so much you can do in the middle of the program. His teachers were not doing anything, either.
Eventually, one of the teachers moved his seat. A little bit later, she moved it again. Finally, she asked him to go sit by me. Once he did the walk of shame to come sit next to me in the row behind him, he knew he was in big trouble. He sat down next to me and I let him know that he was being naughty.
I sat there quite frustrated by his inability to simply sit still and wondering why he wouldn't listen to me. All of a sudden, I received my answer. My blackberry is buzzing with a text from MMM. It reads, "turn off that iPad while you are on the stage. you are embarrassing me."
Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Ours was also yesterday. I was a little mad, because they had assigned my 11 year old a 2 minute talk, which I had taken 10 minutes out of my busy schedule to write. When we got to the church, one of the members of the Primary Presidency came over, gave my daughter a picture with some writing on the back, and told her to read it for her part. No one got to hear the sermon I wrote for her.
I thought about sending out some angry tweets about it, but decided it might backfire on me.
Also, at the end, I asked my wife why our 6 year old didn't get a speaking part. She told me that she had spoken 15 minutes earlier. I want to emphasize that I missed it because I was reading the Sunday School lesson. I was not on CUF.Last edited by Clark Addison; 10-25-2010, 04:44 PM.Comment

Ours was yesterday too, easily the best SM of the year for me. Does the song "Follow the Prophet!" bother anyone else here? or is it only the apostates who are uncomfortable with it?Comment

My wife is the Primary chorister (and I'm the accompanist--best.job.ever.) and she's bugged by it. Unfortunately, whenever she lets the kids choose the song, they always choose it.Originally posted by scottie View Post
We need more songs in minor keys, because kids seem to dig them. Bring back BOM stories.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

Ours was yesterday.
It is just a Utah thing or does it happen in other parts of the country that all the relatives have to come for the program? We never invited any family when I was young. Why is it such a big deal here in Utah. We made sure to get to church a half hour early and it was a good thing we did.Comment

I seen a lot of relatives yesterday at ours come for it. For me not reason for grandparents to make special trip not just for that. Now all the primary sits on the stand room. But I remember when primary got first four rows. Thing that did was upset were people sit and people that sat in back and side wound up sitting up front as there rows were taken. Used to be not big event now I seen a lot of relatives show up for it.Comment
