Church Antics

To begin, Little thinks going to church is going to the circus. She's been to both, but somehow calls them both the circus. We are Lutheran, so our services are pretty straight forward and neutral. No one is talking in tongues or doing other non-traditional types of things.

On Maundy Thursday, we went to church. There isn't child care for the evening services, so I packed her bag full of goodies so that she could sit with me in the sancturary; this would be a first. I was nervous; it was an adventure for her!

The youth choir sang and as they came to a close, the entire church is silent and my child, YELLS, "YEAH!" and starts clapping her hands. OMG, was I embarrassed. You see, this is what we do during Kindermusic at the end of songs and in the car, so she felt this was the appropriate thing to do.

You could hear the twitter of chuckles flowing through the church. We survived. Went back the following evening and there wasn't any loud outbursts!! :-) Gotta love the little ones!
