What I Learned at VBS 2008

By HausFrau

I learned that the words for the song are not Choose Jesus! Choose to Believe! Choose Jesus! Elbows & knees!

I learned that they were not serving "Baby Jesus" for snack time.

I learned that CheerBear makes a really good paralyzed man for Jesus to heal.

I learned that I'd much rather deal with cutie-patootie preschoolers than juvenile delinquent kindergarten & first graders.

I learned that I look really hot standing in front of a castle.

I learned that GloryWoman some people don't think Tootie-Ta is an appropriate time filler for the preschool crowd.

I learned that there is a Christian version of Tootie-Ta that's only slightly different that the evil secular rendition.

I learned that GloryWoman does a lot of head-shoulder-knees-toes head-chest-shoulder-to-shoulder cross thing in my presence.

In my defense,

Laze-E was raving about the "Baby Cheeses" (tiny cheese cubes for those of you, like me, who were wondering) & how good they were. Can I help it if the K-1 crowd was so loud so that cheeses sounded like Jesus? Futhermore, GloryWoman it's not "sacriligious" as you put it that I mentioned "Baby Jesus" and food in the same sentence. I seriously thought they were serving "Baby Jesus" sugar cookies. Or something along those lines.

And, Tootie-Ta, for those of you unfamiliar, is a wonderful preschool & early elementary song with lots of fun movement. It does not have anything whatsoever to do with the ta-ta's.

Or farting.

Also, there is a popular children's song called Head & Shoulders, Knees & elbows & Toes, maybe you've even heard of it? But, I now know the words to Choose Jesus are really "help those in need". A big, heartfelt thank you goes out to whomever printed off the lyrics to the entire SonWorld CD. Now when I lie awake in the middle of the night with all those songs playing non-stop in my head, I can lip-sing all the right lyrics.

Additionally, the Story Time center was set up to be the castle of the SonWorld Amusement Park. I did look hot. It was a flippin' 90 degrees outside & we were inside, at dinnertime, on the second floor, facing south & west, surrounded by lots and lots of windows. So, it was a dripping with sweat kind of hot, not an oooh-la-la kind of hot.

In conclusion, I'll be back next summer to help out. Maybe I can be on cupcake or cookie duty.

I have this really great idea . . .
