Tyson and I were put in as teachers for one of the sunbeam classes in our ward in May. And we have loved it! There are nine kids in our class and they're hilarious.
I want to be able to remember some of the super funny things these kids say in class. So the following are some of the hilarious things that come out of these four-year-olds' mouths.
PS - Even though there isn't anything embarassing or bad they have said, the names have still been changed. :)
Scenario #1
On Saturday we had a primary activity at the Idaho Falls Temple Visitors Center. It was a lot of fun, and almost the entire primary showed up. The Sunday before was pretty humorous when the primary president was giving instructions. She said that the kids needed to be on their best behavior at the temple and be sure to wear their dress up clothes. The following is the conversation I had with one of our sunbeams, Angie.
Angie: Oh no, I can't wear my dress-up clothes. I'm grounded from the basement! [Angie thought dress-up clothes meant princess outfits and other clothes to play dress-up in.]
Me: [trying not to laugh] Well I think it will be ok if you wear one of your dresses you wear to church on Sunday.
Angie: Ok, I'll do that.
Scenario #2
Later that day in class we were done with the lesson and playing with Play Doh. We normally bring dum dum suckers for the kids. They love them. They each had a dum dum, then they wanted to have another. It was nearing the end of the class at this time. This scenario involves Angie again.
---
Angie: Can we have another dum dum?
Me: No, the dum dums are put away. You guys have plenty of Halloween candy at home.
Angie: I can't eat my Halloween candy, I'm grounded from it.
Me: [failing to keep back the laugh after hearing she was grounded from the basement earlier] What did you do to get grounded?
Angie: I don't know.

Scenario #3
During a lesson a few weeks ago we taught about being honest. We talked about what it meant to be honest and that Heavenly Father and Jesus are very happy when we are honest. Some of the the examples we gave were how they're being honest if they don't take a cookie Mom bakes when she tells them they can't have one till after dinner. Or if they break something they should tell Mom, even if it is hard to tell her that they broke something. After a few of our own examples we went around the group and had them tell about a time when they were honest. This was Taylor's story (or as close as we can get it).
---
Taylor: [standing up with one finger in the air, eye brows in a scowl and eyes looking in all directions] My brother [who is two]...once he took an apple when my mom said he couldn't have one.
Tyson: So he wasn't being very honest, huh.
Taylor: [as dramatically as before] And then...my brother...[he also has a tough time with his R's so it sounded more like "bruddow"-Tyson and I are chuckling at this point] he put the apple on the floor and left it there. So he littered.
Tyson: [Laughing out loud at this point and wanting Taylor to just keep talking because he's so funny] Was there a time when you were honest, Taylor?
Taylor: Well my brother...he took a cookie when he wasn't supposed to. And he didn't even eat it.

Scenario #4
There was a boy in our class who had been sick for a couple of weeks. It was his first day back since being sick and he was telling us all about it while we were playing with Play Doh.
---
Charlie: I had to go to the doctor because my ula was sick. [He meant "uvula".]
---
Later on he told us more about how he was sick, but how he was throwing up. He got into a lot of detail ha ha. Then he went around (literally walked around to each kid) and asked them if they had ever "frowed up" before. We got to learn all about these kids' sick days! Angie's was my favorite response.
---
Angie: I haven't throwed up since I first lived. [Meaning when she was a baby.]
---
Scenario#5
One girl named Elizabeth is so funny to talk to. And she really likes to talk! During singing time on Sunday she was asking me questions about my name.
---
Elizabeth: What is your first name?
Me: Alli
Elizabeth: What is your last name?
Me: Miller
Elizabeth: What is your middle name?
Me: Kaye
Elizabeth: Oh. That means you are my friend Alli. I have two friends named Alli.
---
Later on in class she had gotten all the names mixed up. She called me Alli at first (the rest call me Sister Miller) and then she started calling me "Miller." I think she was a little confused.
And this summer she told us this story:
---
Elizabeth: One time I was playing at the park and I fell down. There was blood gushing out of my head.
---
This story led to stories from all the other kids about blood gushing out of everywhere from other minor injuries they've had ha ha.
***
We get a kick out of these kids! There isn't a week that goes by where we aren't just laughing in class. Sometimes we just let them keep giving us example stories so we can hear their funny renditions. We love our calling!
