    I am a bad influence on the youth

    Calliope had to give a talk today in Primary, so I attended. The kids in front of me know that I'm always telling jokes and doing feats of prestidigitation, so they all turned around. I did my classic gag where I take my pen and push it into my nose, cough a couple of times, and then pull it out of my mouth.

    Their eyes get like this:

    The program started, and all went well, until they turned around again. Anticipating this, immaturely, I had the I-can-pull-my-finger-off gag ready to go. I did it, and that was the end of discipline in the class for the day; they freaked out in wonder and amazement. They kept asking me how I did it. The kids would no longer pay attention to anything but me, even though I tried to ignore them. I actually feel bad about it.

    But, for an hour today, I was king of the Junior Primary. I made sure to apologize in person to the leaders and teachers. But, I still think they're going to be rightly upset with me.

    I expect more from an educator. Time to get serious, man.

      Sadly, the primary pays better attention and participates more than most of my classes. Little kids don't have cellphones.

        Also, I assume, most primary children don't come to class with dilated pupils. Though they do share the munchies.

          I wish I had a smart phone in college.

            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

              Both of you need to watch oxcoug's Ted Talk.

                Equally appropriate joke for my preschool teacher wife. Too funny.
