• I was a little frazzled on Sunday Morning trying to get to church, make sure I had my talk ready and together, get Serra delivered to her class, pass out sign up sheets for a big stake temple day coming up to the various ward organizations and make it to RS on time,  (RS is first)  because I had to lead the music and make an announcement.  But it all seemed to go without a hitch.  We made it through all the meetings and at the beginning of Sacrament meeting Serra’s teachers daughter brings me a curly straw with a weird gummy toy of Serra’s.  I knew then that Serra had smuggled the toys into primary and I felt bad.  But I needed to get through Sacrament meeting and the talk before I could deal with it.  The talks went well.  We spoke about pioneers of course. 

  
  

  After the meeting I went up to Brother Ellis, who is Serra’s primary teacher and began to apologize and make a promise that it wouldn’t happen again.  He started to laugh and said, ” Oh, but you have the hear the story behind it.”  Here it comes.  Serra was the first one to her class and as she walks in she says.  “hey, want me to show you something?”   Up came the dress and she started tugging on this straw that was holstered in her panties.  It got stuck because of the loops in it and so she starts tugging harder.  He said,”hold on a minute.”  and he had a sister in the ward come in to help untangle the said object.  As they untangled the straw and pulled it out the spidery gummy toy came up with it.  The little imp had holstered this thing in her underwear before we left for church and kept it a complete secret from me the whole way and walking through the church to her class.  She knows I don’t let her take ANYTHING to primary with her because of the distraction issue.  I can’t believe how sneaky she was.   Am I going to have to resort to complete body searches before church from here on out?  It looks like I am going to have to be on my toes with this one.
