Hockey, the Awana store being smelly, and "oh my gosh" being "so funny" - yay, kiddies!

Ada and the kids picked me up, so I said hi to everyone. At church, Benedict let me into the elevator first - how cool. We wondered why the parkade was SO FULL at only 3:45 PM - I was determined to get answers, and I did get them from Uncle Eugene. Apparently, there was a choir workshop since this morning - I wasn't aware it would last all weekend! Said hi to a bunch of the kids (Rachel, Nina, Emily, Gerard, Josie, Priscilla) while checking them in. Eunice was cranky since she'd been up since 6 this morning without a nap - poor girl! Her mom Flora had been in a car accident, but was worried for the kids since they were in the back! Talked to her husband Andrew very briefly, too. Helped Auntie Vivian with the lychee pudding, too - at least she thanked me for it, and Chrystal thanked me for helping with the attendance sheets and explanations of various things! When Ada was leading singing, she asked the kids for an action for "you died." Mike came up to me and Chrystal, then said that he personally thought there wasn't a need for such an action - probably not, no!

Jordan asked me whether I had seen the hockey game last night. No, because I was at church then! He wondered why I'd been there, so I told him. Then he talked to me about needing a bandage, and about how many games he and his brother Thomas have been in. Matthew Ma #2 said hi to me (with the correct name), and Chrystal asked whether he knew that there was another Matthew Ma in Awana - he did. Benedict later expressed surprised confusion, but it's a good thing they're in different clubs for now. Conor's brother Sean wanted me to open the Awana store, then didn't want to go to storytime because it was "smelly." Okay, kid... whatever you say!

Later, Mike was telling Martin NOT to teach Regan to say "I'm fabulous!" with a head tilt. When his sister Jinny came to see what was going on, Mike told her to make sure that her little brother didn't do that at school. Martin wondered why, and Mike said that he didn't want the kid to get beaten up, even if he would figure things out because he's in Grade 4! Brian and his brother Padraic were dancing Russian-style, and we were all amused by that, too.

Sean L. was writing some things on the chalkboard, so I asked him what was going on. "Oh my gosh and oh my dear are SO FUNNY! Red gets 600 points!" is what he told me - hahaha, he's so cute! Talked briefly to Lesley when she came to pick up a couple of kids - she's so tired, and could have gone to sleep right then! I could relate, trust me. The kids were pretty funny today, so that's good. When Melia told them to tell their parents to keep them at home if they were sick on Saturdays, one of the kids asked "What if we have H1N1?" Then DEFINITELY stay at home, girl... hahahaha! On the way home, Ian told his mom to hurry up since he was hungry - haha, oh dear. You can't exactly do that when you're driving!
