My Cubbie Boys

You all probably know by now that I was asked to move from JV girls to Cubbie boys for AWANA. No, it wasn't because they didn't think I was mature enough to be with the junior high girls it was just because they needed a "mom" figure in the room. I happened to get all of my close friends boys. Which is great, or it is now. They are getting used to the fact that when I'm teaching I'm their teacher and not a friend, and when we are outside of AWANA then we can play around. Tonight was great! They all seemed to pay attention to most of what I had to say, they all knew their verses and weekly review verses, then...we had down time. You know time to color their projects and you know burp and the "other". Oh yes, I was at "Little boy bathroom noises" central. The first burp was kind-of funny to me and very very funny to the other boys not burping. Then it seemed as if burps were coming at me from the East and the West. So, Mrs. Michelle put on the serious face and just stared at the ceiling until they were ready to stop. Hayden was the first to say, "I'm being good now", then Sean, "I'm not going to burp like them", and then my precious Dalton, "Well, I'm not done burping and I think Hayden and Sean need to burp some more too!" So then it began again. Honestly, if it were just me, I might have played along with them, but I have a reputation to uphold in that room "My boys will listen to me, don't worry I won't have any problems" <--yeah, I said that. If anyone can get ahold of a diagram that shows an AWANA leader inserting her foot in her mouth, please let me know where I can get a copy ;) I love your boys! Gross noises and all, it makes my time sitting in the kiddie chair that my boo-tay hangs off of more interesting :)
