Talking heads
March 8th, 2009
Rees gave a talk today in Primary. He has given several this year, so I guess he is volunteering a lot.
For his talk, we made the puppets pictured below. I had the idea, & Bryan made it happen. For scale, note that the faces are mounted on paint sticks. Rees held up the appropriate face as he was reading each portion of his talk. He wrote most of it himself, we really only helped him with the opening & closing paragraphs.
Family members have important responsibilities. A responsibility is a special job. i am going to tell you about my family & our responsibilities today.
I am Rees. My responsibilities are to put my dirty clothes in the hamper, go to school, eat all my food, clear the table, set the table, be nice to my brother, obey my Mom & Dad, & clean up toys.
This is Percy. His responsibilities are to take a lot of naps, & catch bugs & spiders.
This is Daddy. His responsibilities are to play with me, fix things at our house, take out weeds & mow the grass, go to work to earn money for our family, built robots, & teach me things.
This is Mommy. Her responsibilities are to make food, clean the house, wash clothes & dishes, play with me, sleep with Daddy*, & plant flowers.
This is Jamie. His responsibilities are to play with me, be cute, eat his food, clean up toys, & obey Mom & Dad.
All families are a little different. If your Mom & Dad don’t live together anymore, or you live with other family members like Grandma & Grandpa, or another different kind of family, you each still have important responsibilities. Heavenly Father wants us to work together and help each other.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Perhaps he was merely sowing the seed of a new sibling?

I would have LOVED to have been in that sharing time, if Rees hadn’t been edited. I’m sure it was still a great talk {and the talking heads are a fun idea} but I love church moments like that. =)

Me and Jas love the heads. We were just barely talking about it yesterday and laughing at how funny and cute they are! I love the editing for “g” rating. That would have really been classic if he would have said that though. He is so smart, your lucky he just didn’t add that part in himself. I think I want to make stick heads of our family, they really make me smile every time I look at them.
