Musical number and reverence
Yesterday at church, we had an organ solo as the musical number. It was a classical number that sounded spooky. About a minute into it, my 10 year old suddenly looked up and said urgently, 'Mom, what is going on?? What is this?' It was as though any minute there would be a scream and some thunder noises. I tried to keep from laughing but when Ethan turned to Taylor about 30 seconds later and said, 'Dad, what's happening to our church?' We both could hardly contain ourselves so we put our heads down and looked real emotional about the whole performance. To top it all off, during the last high councilman speaker, Gabe put his feet up and wouldn't let Lily or Ethan pass by and kept saying calmly, 'sorry, it is unavailable right now'. But when Ethan forced his way past, Gabe was infuriated and loudly said, 'Ehhh, I hate you- you buttface'. Nice. Maybe we need yet another lesson on reverence.
