Speaking of funny things that kids say, I teach the 6 year olds in primary and last Sunday I was teaching about missionaries. And I asked the kids what missionaries do, and one kid raised his hand and said they eat food. Hah. They must have the missionaries over for dinner a lot. Then later I asked what you can do to prepare to go on a mission. And a different child said you can try a lot of different kinds of food. Oh man. Then later as I was telling Mike about this, I said "You'll never guess what the kids said." And Mike said, "Eat food." Hah. Oh man. Funny day.
