Pudding

Did you know you can make pudding in the microwave? I had a pie crust and I needed pudding. I called my friend Susan to see if she had a pudding mix. She said no but she knew how to make pudding in the microwave. She gave me the recipe, I had all of the ingredients on hand, I tried it, and it worked! It was delicious. And it only took 8 minutes to make. It was the best pie. I didn't have anyone to share it with though. So sad.

Which reminds me of something else. The other night a friend told me my house was so "rotic". She's Korean so I wondered if she had a word wrong. The she tells me it means: romantic without the man. Do you get it? I thought that was kind of funny.

Church Christmas program antics

Wow, it's been a while since I've written. Instead of trying to catch up I'll just start with right now. I want to write about the Christmas program at church tonight.

About every 4 or 5 weeks I teach children's church and that's why I was at the Christmas program this evening. I was there to help with the kids. The program was really nice but I just have to share a couple of funny things that happened. It could have been scenes from a movie.

1. There was one boy who had on tan pants with black socks. His pants were kind of short, his socks showing, his hair was combed neatly and his suit jacket was totally buttoned wrong. It was such a little boy thing to do.
2. There was another little girl-one of our staff kids-that for whatever reason she kept falling over. She wouldn't get hurt but she fell over three times-face forward. I don't even know how she did it. I can't explain how she did this without hurting herself but you'll think I'm terrible but I was laughing so hard! And she also did the proverbial pulling her skirt over her head.
3. Then there was a little boy sitting next to me. I could tell he wanted to go to his mom. So I look back and the mom motions for me to take the little boy's sweater off because he was hot. So I start to take his sweater off but it won't go over his head. It was so tight. And I kept trying to get it over his head and it wouldn't go. And I was feeling so embarassed that I couldn't get it off. No matter what I did it wouldn't go over his head. And I didn't want to pull to hard because I was afraid I would hurt him. And the little boy was trying to help but he couldn't get it off either. I knew if anyone was watching me it was probably very funny. Finally the boy's mom comes up and she could barely get it off either. It struck me so funny.
4. This same boy is about three years old. He was so cute when he was on the stage. There was another little boy (15 months old) who kept trying to leave the stage but this little three year old boy would make sure he stayed on the stage.
It was a great program. Kids are the best!
