Summer's Sunshine: Primary Program

I can't miss the chance to tell you about our primary program epic fail. -- The program itself was wonderful. My corner of the world not so much. Will and I are Sunbeam teachers, and we were on the front row facing our sunbeams. The kids said their lines alright. Ben (who is in the other sunbeam class) was pretty impressive - he recited his line for memory loud and clear. Then things took a turn for the worse. Instead of singing the whole time Ben decided to knaw away at the podium. It was half way through that I realized he was making marks in the wood! Meanwhile, Will and I were rushing three of our own sunbeam kids off the stage to the bathroom(one didn't make it and went in her pants) and bribing James to sit with us with fruit snacks-- the program was pretty crazy. Well at least Maddy was behaving herself.... or so we thought. When Will rushed one of our primary sunbeams off the stage to the bathroom, on the way back someone in the hall pointed out a yellow spot the size of small basketball on on his shirt. Maddy had made her mark... Poop and all! Will got back to the pew moments before he had to give the closing prayer in front of the entire ward. I tossed a few wet wipes at him and one of the women in the primary presidency gave him a sheet of paper to cover up - and up he went to pray with a paper in hand/over belly.... After sacrament he had to run home to get a new shirt. I'm including a picture of Ben's teeth marks on the podium. I didn't get a shot of Maddy's ferocious poop mess- all you need to know is it saturated three layers of clothing-- Will's white collar shirt, tshirt and garments- Yikes!
