Tonight, we piled the family into the car and took Jordan to the church for achievement night. It's a church activity night, every other Wednesday for kids age 8-11. In larger areas, it's just for girls because there are enough boys to warrant a boy scout troop. But we don't have enough boys. So... the boys go to achievement night.
ANYWAY...
While Josh walked Jordan inside, I stayed in the car with the other three monkeys. And we had this conversation:
Lucy: Oh, I bet Jordan will have fun.
Sam: Why? What's so fun about achievement night?
Lucy: Mommy, tell Sam it's fun.
Me: It's fun guys. You'll see when you are old enough to go.
(insert a few moments of quiet pondering)
Lucy: Are there hula hoops at achievement nights?
Me: Um, I don't think so. At least not every night.
Lucy: Do you get to eat cake?
Me: No. No cake.
Lucy: Are there presents?
Me: Well, no. There aren't any presents either.
Sam: Well then. I think achievement nights just sound BORING!
I guess when you put it that way... no presents, no hula hoops, AND no cake?!! It does sound boring, doesn't it?

That DOES sound boring!!! LOL
I love kids.
What's life without some cake? Oh...that's for FHE! ;)
No cake? No presents? What's even the point of gathering together without those two essential ingredients? =)
Seriously I was so on board until the mention of no cake and then... well how much fun can a cakeless night be?
Hula Hoops!!!!! The secret to fun Primary activities has just been revealed. Fun is not fun without a hula hoop, that is fer shur!
Thanks for the chuckle!!!
I can't believe they don't have scouts! I have never heard of boys going to achievement nights! Hey just one more reason to live in Utah- Just Joking! :):)
That is too funny. Well at least you know exactly what the definition of fun is to them!
I think it's great that your branch has the boys participate in Achievement Days. That would be quite challenging as a leader to gear the activities towards 8-11 year old boys and girls.
Now I know what kind of activites you plan with your YW....hula hooping, cake eating, and present opening. No wonder the girls love you. :)
I wouldn't want to go either! :) funny story! Cute kids!
Ah, kiddos. Mine wouldn't be too interested either, I think. Especially considering that cake is usually mentioned in our prayers as the thing we are *most* thankful for :)
NO HULA HOOPS?? hmph!
hee hee
