Does this mean I've been in Primary too long?

I teach Primary on Sundays, and it's a good place for me because as anybody who has spent any time with me knows, I am pretty much a ten year-old boy at heart.

However, I'm wondering if I need a break.  I offer this little story as evidence.

Yesterday I taught the story about Jesus and the Ten Lepers (NOT LEOPARDS, KIDS!  GET IT RIGHT!) and we did a little impromptu dramatization.  They dictated a script to me and I wrote it down, then made copies for them.

When I handed them the copies they complained that they couldn't read my handwriting.  They were all, "Your handwriting sucks, Teacher."  And in my heart I was all, "My handwriting sucks?  Well YOU suck."

And then in my heart I went even further.  "How much do you suck?  You guys can't even drive.  You have to get your moms to drive you to soccer practice."

And then in my heart I thought, "Yup, Ann.  You're officially crazytown now."

That is the best thing I have heard all day.

The kids. They are heartless. The other day, a grandchild got into the back seat of my car and told me I really needed to clean it up.

They were supposed to say, "your handwriting sucks, SISTER CANNON". No respect these days...

I have been imagining the story of Jesus and the ten leopards; how they had a traveling circus that was popular throughout Judea.

I would lay odds that your handwriting was equal to, if not better than, anything those stinky, pre-pubescent XY-ers could write.

This is probably the best thing I've ever read. Also, you really should work on your handwriting.
