When Mormons go to church, it is a real effort. Besides meeting as a congregation, Mormons sit through Sunday School and also separate along gender lines and/or ages for another Sunday School-like meeting. Regular Mormon church meetings take about three hours. Many Mormons have various other church meetings beyond these including Family Home Evening, Seminary, Institute, and church leadership meetings, just to name a few. While Mormons have certainly sat through more than their share of bad lessons, apparently many Mormons have decided that sitting through a crummy lesson now and then beats the alternative.
Recently a Mormon friend sent me a picture that he took while at church that illustrates an unexpected alternative to the occasional bad lesson. The picture below shows a sign posted on the door of a Mormon nursery--where he was going to drop off his kid for childcare and a presumably a lesson. This is his picture of the sign:
It struck me that no matter how bad a church lesson is, it is probably better than the lesions that they are giving the kids in my friend's congregation.

I love Discovery Network show Man versus Wild. I rarely get to watch it
though. However, am really glad that my wife turned on the DVR for this one.

Another laugh-out-loud blog. I can always count on you. Thanks, Brig.
well, the lesions do come with a snack...so it's kind of a toss up between a bad sunday school lesson or the nursery.
The sad thing is that nine of those 10 children with lesions won't return to thank the teacher for them...or am I getting my Bible lessons mixed up?
One day in nursery I had a few of the older children in class climbed up on top of a small table and proceeded to jump off. There was lots of giggling and shouting going on. Well they were happy and not fighting so I, like an idiot, let the games continue. I turned for two seconds and heard a blood curdling cry from the other side of the room. When I ran to the table and picked up the screaming little girl blood was pouring from a lesion on her lip. Now that was an exciting day in primary. And I learned an important lesion, don't let kids have fun in nursery.
LOL hey at least their ward has jr/sr primary- in our ward there are about 2 kids in primary. at least we'd know where the lesions are coming from :)
another important lesion. . .however your lesson. . .being nursury leader would be worse!
I just spent three and a half hours reading your blog--it was amazing! I have now decided to become a dentist and to change the spelling of my name to JaceSyn.
That is so funny...I am terrible at spelling...I could see myself doing that!
Hey when they past out the sandwiches in primary all I got was crumbs. Oh that must of been the sacrament.
I'm with Jason up there. This is too funny.
I'm all for a good snack, even if it includes a lesion or two-- three hours is a long time to go without crackers and water!
I'll pass on the lesions. Spell check is always a good idea, and proof reading never hurts since spell checks won't catch misused words. Funny stuff.
