The Spin of Death

Today Aaron and I taught the CTR-B class in Primary. Being the secretary, I am in the hot seat to be a substitute anytime one is needed. I don't mind though because I love teaching and love the kids, and doing it once in a while is just perfect. So I made Aaron teach with me because we have this one kid in that class that is very high-maintenence (tries to kiss all the girls (and boys, today), talks non-stop about things we can't comprehend, says the weirdest things - today I said, "(name), if you don't stop right now I'm going to go get your dad" and he yelled, "You are going to be my mom and dad? You just said you are my mom and my dad!" and I busted up laughing - I couldn't hold it in - because he's not being a smart-arse, he's serious).

Anyway, when Aaron used to teach this class, he had a "game" they would play to see who would say the opening and closing prayer. It is called the "Spin of Death". Sounds inappropriate, but the kids think it is hilarious. The one time I mentioned changing the name to "The Spin of Luck" or something like that, I was practically herded out of the room. He used to take a pen, or something with a point and spin it in the air. When it hit the ground, whomever it was pointing to would say the opening prayer. Their reward for saying the prayer would be the priviledge of conducting the "Spin of Death" at the end of class and thus determining who would say the closing prayer. So today we got the wiggles out by letting the kids share something that happened that week (as opposed to blurting out, "Guess what? My sister hit me yesterday!" or "My brother walked in my mom's room this morning and she was only wearing her BRA!!" (basically airing all of their family's dirty laundry) while I'm talking. Then I said, "Okay, who wants to say the opening prayer?" Actually, usually two kids want to and we have to have two. But today I said that and they immediately looked at Aaron and said, "NO, we have to have the Spin of Death!" I was overruled. For some reason, Aaron + Opening Prayer = Spin of Death, and the kids cannot think otherwise. For some reason I thought that was funny and wanted to share.
P.S. Aaron smells.
