Primary Program

I always love Primary Program Sunday. This year I had to sit on the back row with my class while Abbey (5) was on the very front row and Zack (6) sat right in front of the Bishopric. I had a great view of the kids and Earl in the audience with Brandon ( 3). on his lap and Gary next to him holding Baby Porter. Just before the program started I see Earl go out with Brandon and Gary left with the 6 month old. Oh I hope he doesn't start crying! Ok, things are ok. Then the program starts but Earl does not return. Abbey confidently told the ward she was grateful for flowers, still no Earl. About fifteen minutes pass and Earl comes back with Brandon and they are both wearing different pants. Turns out Brandon had been sitting on Earl and had just peed. While Earl was getting mad at him as they were leaving Brandon innocently looks up and says “don’t worry dad, it will dry.” Then I see Zack pull out a rubber snake from his pocket and see him terrorize the girls around him. I then see Abbey’s teacher try to keep her dress down. I felt so helpless. But I still got chocked up as they sang and did their parts. Primary programs are wonderfully unpredictable!
