“Did you hear what your son did in Awana Sunday night?” My friend asked.
“Uh, no.”
I pulled out a chair from my kitchen table and slumped down waiting for the bomb. Why my kid? I knew in my stomach, the place that flip-flops with a mother’s sixth sense, that my son ‘said’ something, not ‘did’ something.
A virus runs through the FringeFamily that is immune to anti-viral medication. It’s called diarrhea of the mouth.
I hope your children don’t catch it.
If you’re not familiar with the program, Awana is a children’s club. Kids memorize Bible verses, play games, and enjoy competitions with other clubs. Churches usually run the program and my kids have been attending for the better part of their childhood. Two hours without children is the best part of Awana. I hope my kids can attend until they are eighteen.
During assembly time, the leader asked the large group of children to tell him some Bible verses about love. It was the eve of the largest love campaign in America – Valentine’s Day.
I know the leader expected the children to say, “God is love.”
“For God so loved the world…”
“Love your neighbor…”
My son, the preacher’s kid, stood up. With Bible in hand, he read…
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.” Song of Solomon 1:2
Every adult doubled over in fits of laughter.
My son, my son.

P.S. I still don’t have my computer.

Toooooo many times having been there myself, I know exactly how you feel. All I can say is, what goes around comes around, and in time you will get the chance to be embarrassing to them.
It could’ve been worse. He could have gone with Proverbs 5:19. : ) (One of my husband’s favorite verses.)
AWESOME. We did a whole series on the Song Of Solomon. SO GOOD. He’s learning how to be what a woman should be looking for (according to Pastor Joby):

6. pursues the woman

11. makes you feel safe
12. proud of you in public
13. he sets the sexual standard
14. he grows the relationship by dating
15. he leads during conflict
Haha! At least he didn’t quote a Lady Gaga song! I love this: “A virus runs through the FringeFamily that is immune to anti-viral medication. It’s called diarrhea of the mouth.
I hope your children don’t catch it.”
I’ve been struggling with the verbal poo poo for many years now
Love it. I have one of those boys as well. Every time he raises his hand to contribute, I wince a little because I never know what’s coming out.
pahahahhahahahaaaaaahahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Haha, LOVE IT!! that is too funny. Could have been “Be fruitful and multiply”… that would have been funny (and awkward?!)
Thanks for the laugh!
Yeah, my son likes to remind me that, “Boy like girls, ya know”. There are 14 kids in his pre-school class and only 3 of them are boys and he is in heaven with all the attention.
I know that virus well! Get your computer back pronto.
OH my goodness. That is just too hilarious!! Love it!! Bless his heart!!
Hope you get your computer soon.
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I just spit Dr Pepper all over my keyboard. Hope my computer doesn’t have to come to visit yours at the hospital! ~Mindy
So he’s a comedian already eh? My question is how did he know to look in S.O.S. for that verse? Too funny
Too funny! My boys came to me the other day both wanting to wear necklaces. I actually found myself yelling, “Boys! Get out of my jewelry box!!” Something I never pictured saying with boys.
Sorry about your computer. When my husband leaves for classes he takes our laptop and it does make me feel very disconnected.
BTW–Happy Birthday!!! The cake looked very worthy of a binge!
Oh, this is so good! I love that grandson of mine. I guess he really is getting old.
LMAO!! That is hilarious!
Bwahahahaa! That was incredible ! After all kids are kids their minds think and react in ways we can’t even think of!
