Things My Kids Said to Me During Sacrament Meeting on Mother's Day

"My scissors aren't scissoring."

Complained Zoe. Zoe crochets during sacrament meeting, so she often cuts yarn. She was making some yarn pom poms, and her dull scissors were giving her grief. 

"Can I have yours?"

Asked Eva, when they announced that Mother's Day gifts would be handed out to the women outside the chapel doors. She didn't even know what the gift was, and she immediately tried to lay claim on it.

(It was a loaf of bread, and my answer was NO! YOU CANNOT HAVE IT!)

"Will you pay me a dollar to sing?"

Eva requested when they announced that the primary would be singing for Mother's Day. Again, No! I told her I'm not paying for my Mother's Day gift, and if I hadn't been in church, I would have said, "Now get your @$$ up there and sing to me!”

"I want Swig!"

Another request from Eva, and another big, fat NO! from me.

"This water is too watery."

Whined Eva about the sacrament.

"Can we go home?"

"I don't want to sit on the end."

"I'm cold."

"I'm bored."

"I'm thirsty."

"What time are we going to Grandma's house?"

"Do I have to go to class?"

"Can I come to your class?"

"Can I drink Dad's water?"

"Do you have any gum?"

"What's for lunch?"

"Can I play on your phone?"

Needless to say, second hour couldn't come fast enough.
