Church Comedy

So part of my new calling/job at church is to oversee the Young Women's groups in eight different congregations (aka wards). Mostly we (myself and the two other women in the presidency) are there to provide support to the leaders in the local wards. Today we visited two wards and attended their youth classes.

Sunday School was hil-AIR-ious.

Background: Jesus goes to a publican's house for food and the people give him a hard time for hanging out with sinners. A publican was any Jewish person who collected taxes for the Roman empire. Luke 19:1-10

Teacher: "So, who can tell me what a 'publican' is?"

Girl: "Like, a Tea Party person?"

Teacher: "What?"

Girl: "You know. Like, not quite a RE-publican."

Teacher: "Oh right. The political party? RE-publican. . . publican. . . .I get it.

No. It was a tax collector."

Girl: "So. . .a Democrat?"
