Kids Really Do Say The Darndest Things!

I love Primary and get the great opportunity to do sharing time (teaching all of the children in our church under the age of 12) every few months. This past month our theme was on prayer. I was teaching the kids about the Prophet Enos from the Book of Mormon.

I held a picture up of Enos and asked if anyone knew who this was.

A child in the back raised her hand and answered: "That is Enos."

"Right", I said, "This is the prophet Enos" (pointing to the picture)

And then I heard this statement from a little 7 year old boy on the front row: "What?, The prophet penis??" (With a very confused look on his face)

"No, the prophet E.N.O.S!" I repeated quickly

It was all I could do to not fall to the ground with laughter. Luckily, only his teacher and a couple of other younger kids heard him say it....so I was able to quickly move on.

I had the biggest smile on my face for the rest of the sharing time - and couldn't quit hearing this hilarious statement being repeated over and over in my head.

So, for all of you parents out there that teach your children the proper anatomical terms for their body parts.....Great Job!

I will just make sure I don't teach about the Prophet Enos for a while, or at least enunciate his name a little better next time!
