So Funny!!!

I just have to write about the funniest thing that happened last Sunday at Church. I am the Primary Chorister in our Ward and during the last hour, Amber (my 3 year old) had to use the bathroom. The Nursery leaders brought her to Jason, who was in the hall with Landon, and he decided to bring her to me. I was sitting in the front of the Primary room listening to a Class Presentation for Sharing Time when all of a sudden, the back door flung open and at the top of her lungs, Amber said, "Mommy! I need to go potty!" As you can imagine, there was an instant laughing reaction from all the primary children and as I exited, quite embarrassed, I had to fight back the urge to laugh myself. It truly was so funny, but I felt bad that it interrupted the sharing time presentation.

On a sad note, poor little Amber was absolutely devastated that everyone laughed at her!!! She held it in until we reached the bathroom and then she looked up at me with the saddest face ever and said, "they laughed at me." The tears just poured out of her eyes and I felt so sad for her. I tried to explain that they were not laughing at her, but just thought what she said was funny - to no avail, she was so crushed for quite awhile. Poor thing. I think it is pretty safe to say that she will never do that again.

I have to say, that was one of the first things my kids told me when we got home from church. That is pretty funny. Poor Amber. My kids still don't like it when people laugh at what they say even if it really is funny. I think it is safe to say they will not be comedians!

Man, she was FAST, too. That door swung open and she got those words out lickety split! :) Bless her heart. Sorry to hear she was sad because of the laughter--no fun at all. She sure looked great as one of our new sunbeams today, though! And SUPER big thanks for making singing time a huge success for those new little ones. GREAT JOB!!

Like Kristen, that's the first thing my kids told me also. Sorry she was so sad!

I wasn't there but when Cade told me about it...I have to admit, I did laugh! But I am sorry to hear that her feelings were hurt. It's never fun to be laughed at. Hopefully one day she will look back and find the laughter in it as well!
