Why do you say that CTR 8 is the best? That's my calling now, and although it's far from the worst (and indeed all that you guys discuss as being the worst is off limits to women anyway), I'm not really loving it. I think I"m just too tired to be a good primary teacher.

Hmm. . . last year I did give candy, but then they just starting feeling so entitled that it annoyed me. So this year, I don't give candy. I mainly just try to get them to keep sitting in their chairs and watch as they gradually slide into "too cool" for primary, which must be what the age of accountability is really about.

We are nursery workers. My wife and I. We have 12 kids in our class, which is one of 6 nursery classes with between 12 and 15 kids. We by far have the most active class and never have less than 10 kids there. So it can be quite the challenge. Sometimes I feel like I miss out on getting my spiritual fix during church but I do get snacks which makes up for it.

I think the 11 year old Blazers and Merrie Miss class are the most difficult. They're the ones with the too cool for primary attitude. Granted that is an awkward age, too old for primary, not old enough for YM/YW. My friend's mother had taught seminary to a rowdy bunch. When her frustration was too much she finally baked them a huge cake and took it them. The kids were all excited. When they were all seated she picked up the cake and chucked it into the trash. The kids were shocked. She told them that the cake represented her lessons. She spends a lot of time preparing them and when they misbehave it's like them throwing it in the trash. She then walked out of the classroom and went home leaving the kids there for 45 minutes to think about it.

I brought candy and we did hangman, nature trips and even examined the narratives. It was a great time.

I babysit ungrateful snots.
This applies beyond just my calling in church. |

Oh, no, my friend, Soutmaster is the best calling in the Church. By far.
