I teach Sunday school once a month at our church. I don’t like the fact that I have to miss preaching the day, but I think it is great fun and very rewarding. Take yesterday’s lesson for example.
The lesson was about Joshua and Rahab.
Me: And Joshua sent two spies…
Student 1: What are spies?
Student 2: Are they people who take
Me: What’s that?
Student 2: Take
Me: I don’t understand you sweetie…
Student 1: Take
(She shows gesture of holding a baby)
Me: I see… Taking CARE! Yeah, ok. NO, NO. Spies don’t take care of you.
Student 3: Do they steal stuff?
Me: No, they just watch what you do and report you to your enemies…
Student 3: What is report?
(When will I learn I am talking to 5 year olds?)
Student: So are they BAD people?
Me: Hmm, well…you know…not always
(I was the picture of eloquence)
Student one or the other: Then why did Rahab save them?
This is when I realize I probably should not be teaching Sunday school. At least not to 5 year olds who are much smarter than I am.

Hahahaha!
Oops...here I am laughing at your expense.
You'll find your groove. I just know it!
And remember, they LOVE you. You cannot do wrong in their eyes.
P.S. Thank you so much for teaching our little ones.
That was hilarious.. Tell me about the teaching woes AK :) Sometimes, the moment you are asked certain questions, it strikes you as to why you did not think like that when you were as young as they were.. :)
So funny!
You know, it doesn't get much better with the older kids. You should hear some of what is said in our middle school Sunday school class! Kids are just hilarious creatures, I've decided.
lol. Sounds like you had quite the fun and interesting morning teaching them!! Kids are always entertaining with their questions! :)
Hehehehe!! This reminds me of two sweet children I used to teach the year before last! Sometimes they *did* outwit me ;)
