Recently, my second graders acted out the story of Jesus’ birth. In only a way that children can. Here are just a few things I heard as we were getting ready for our acting debut.
Angel: My wings are too tight. I can’t feel my fingers.
Wise Man: Do I get to carry real frankenstein?
Shepherd: Look at my sheep. (Holds out his hand with three marshmallows.) They’re baby sheep.
Joseph: This beard itches my face.
Me: Take it off.
Joseph: I need a razor.
Me: You’ve got to be kidding me.
Mary: I need to ride in to the manger on my pet donkey.
Angel: I don’t like it when angels swoop. I’m just gonna walk.
Me: What’s wrong?
Kid in the Corner: They’re calling me a donkey boy.
Me: No, they’re calling Dawson a donkey boy.
Kid in the Corner: Oh, okay. Can I have a marshmallow?
Boy with a Rope: Can you tie this around my neck so I can be a donkey?
King Herod: I keep tripping over my dress.
for someone so caught up in nativity scene accuracy (ie the wise men in your bedroom), since when did they have marshmallows at the manger? i mean, come on!

Ha ha! That last one made me laugh our loud!!!
Your kids are as funny as you were, but naturally you don’t remember.
