When the primary president called to ask if two members of their presidency could come and visit with the quorum in order to "get to know them better," I knew that things were NOT going to go smooth.
Are you kidding me? The Primary Presidency coming to visit OUR house?? So, honestly, I prepared myself for the worst, but OH, the quorum so OUT DID my low expectations...it was even WORSE than I anticipated!!
These amazing (and pretty much perfect) women come in and sit down. The quorum rushes into the living room. (It's like- let's see...which one of us can humiliate mom first?!) Braxton plops himself in the green chair...with his head hanging over the bottom of the chair and his feet pointing up to the ceiling. Jackson plops himself in the other chair (quiet at first...I should have known something VERY BAD was coming!!) Kaydon and Colton proceed to WWF wrestle in the middle of the floor, all the while Colton calling everyone a "knucklehead!"
AWESOME!
But, OH, it gets SO MUCH BETTER!
The first story that they tell, in unison, is about how they were climbing onto one of these lady's garbage cans to get into her backyard to get a ball. WHAT?!?! Are you kidding me?!?!
The second story is about how Braxton only likes the boy primary teacher that he has...not the girl one. NICE!
Colton is still calling everyone a knucklehead. SWEET!
But..then...the WHAMMY of all WHAMMYs! Jackson proceeds to tell these two (pretty-close-to-perfect) ladies a lovely story about how he was at school on Friday and he got kicked in the "nuts" and how bad it hurt and where it hurt and how long it hurt for and all of the details that NO ONE wants to know...especially not two pretty-close-to-perfect ladies!!!!
I immediately put my hands over my face because I figured that if I couldn't see them then this wasn't really happening...Ignorance is bliss, I tell ya!
I kindly asked these two ladies (who I am positive were traumatized by this experience) to NEVER come back again!!
They just smiled politely because they are, after all, pretty close to perfect, and left.
Oh, Heidi, I'm sure it wasn't that bad! You do tell it very funny, though. But I'm sure these ladies have seen worse! They aren't perfect, none of us are perfect, and kids certainly aren't perfect! At least your kids are honest, though! And sociable--they talked to them. Think of the trust they must have for these Primary leaders to tell them stories about garbage and nuts! You have great kids, Heidi! You truly do!
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious! I loved how you spared no detail! And I can just imagine the boys too! I'm sure those ladies left and thought to themselves, "I'm glad my kids aren't the only kids that act a little CRAZY sometimes!"
