Sacrament Meeting

Yesterday in church we were sitting behind a family with 5 children. The oldest three children were boys with ages ranging from 6-9. During the ward business the parents were called to be cub scout leaders. When the mom's name was read we heard a loud gasp from the oldest child.Then as his mom was sitting down all of the boys broke into uncontrollable laughter. While Zach and I found this pretty funny, their mother did not. She kept telling them to stop laughing and asking what was so funny about it. Then one of the younger boys said "Now you're never going to get rid of us." Then while the sacrament was being passed the oldest boy started telling his mom all about how you could get milk to spray out your nose - by clamping your mouth shut and laughing, your ears - by shutting your mouth and your nose, and finally your eyes - by clamping your mouth shut while plugging your nose and ears (he even gave a demonstration of how you could do this part).

This family wasn't the only entertaining part of Sacrament meeting. During one of the talks about temples, the sister talking told the following story about someone she knew. This person and her husband had gone to a grocery store after visiting the temple and as they got out of the car they saw a woman slumped over her steering wheel. They were very alarmed and called the police. When the police got there they got the woman out of the car and found out she was in shock. It turned out that the woman had finished her grocery shopping and put the groceries in the back seat of the car. Then she got in the car and moved her seat backwards smashing the groceries. Because of the pressure from the seat and the heat in the car a can of dough (like from cresent rolls) exploded. The woman heard the sound and thought she had been shot at. Then she felt the back of her heard where incidentally a piece of dough had landed. The woman assumed that the dough was actually stuff oozing out of her head from the bullet hole and went into shock. The sister telling this story could hardly get through it because she kept laughing and I am still wondering how this applied to her talk. All in all it was a great sacrament meeting.
