Church can be an interesting time for children. They are bored. They are hungry. They have had to sit still for so long, they want to be anywhere but there. But being a teacher, I hear some interesting things come out of the kids mouths, especially my kids.
Take last week for example when a rambunctious little girl in my class kept making fun of Cooper during sharing time. After a few minutes he had heard enough from her. He looked at her with his monster face (a look that you don't want to see) held up his fist and said in a loud voice "If you say one more thing I am going to give you a knuckle sandwich and knock you through the door!"
I was SO embarrassed! I'm sure the other teachers and leaders thought that I must be the BEST mom in America.
Scratch that!
They probably thought that I am the best mom in the WORLD!
But I have to give him credit, his threat worked, because the girl left him alone for the rest of the day!
The week before that a little girl, that is really touchy, had to be by me during class. She had to pet me almost the entire time~if you know me you know how I have a hard time with people touching me, but it kept her quiet, so I let her.
Then, right in the middle of the lesson, as she's rubbing my face, she said you know your nose is really red?
Yes, I said, it is a sunburn, now listen to the lesson.
I know, that's okay though, because your necklace is really pretty.
Umm, thank you?
Moving on to this week. Class had just finished, and I felt like I have felt every week since I began teaching the 5-6 year old children~do they get anything from my lessons, are they even listening to me? The kids opened the door and waited in the hall for their parents to pick them up.
As I cleaned up I heard one of the little girls say to Koda-your mom is the best ever! She is so nice, I love her as our teacher! That obviously MADE my day, and I couldn't wait to hear Koda's response. Then it came . . .
He replied with~She's not nice all the time, she grounds me from the Wii all the time!
NICE! That is just what I wanted to hear! Thanks Matty! :)

Your post seriously makes me crack up. Your kids are so cute!! You seriously are the Best mom. Your kids are so lucky to have you as their mom, even if you do ground them from wii. You have so many great qualities. I sure wish I had some of them. Just to list a few. You're the best blogger ever!! Sounds like you're a great cook and most importantly you spend so much quality time with your kids and do so many fun things with them. Those are memories they will never forget. You really are a great example of a great mom. :)
Holly~you have taken my embarrassing moments and made it sound like I am a champion! Thank you!
