Many years ago I was looking over a list in the church narthex with upcoming Sunday School class topics and the last name of each teacher. Next to one of the classes was written “Pending.” I couldn’t for the life of me think of who Mr. Pending was–until someone pointed out that it wasn’t a name.

LOL, in 6th grade we had to take turns giving a morning news summary. One day Kevin was telling about a house fire. He was confused that the police had made no arrests in light of the fact that the article said, “Police believe Mr Arson was involved.” The teacher had to make him re-read it to see that it did not, in fact, say “Mr” and then look up the word “arson.” Kevin heard about that clear till graduation.

hehe, having married into a family of boys (men) who thoroughly enjoy anything involving fire and/or minor explosions that makes perfect sense.

I’m wondering if in my home, they’d say, “No wonder his name is Our Son then.” ! Nah… surely not!

That is hilarious! I always wonder what goes on in those little kid minds. It’s funny when you hear a snippet. I’m glad to hear they are so well prepared to defend the Merkle household! Too cute.

Oh, mistaken identities! Ours never believed in Santa Claus but it took me years when they were little to convince them that Christmas presents were from out of state grandparents, NOT the UPS man! (But mom, he brought them to the house!)
