1st day teaching primary(in like 10 years)! Hey, I'm too old for this job!!

Yesterday, Sunday August 29th began as Sundays usually do around our home. Scott was off to early meetings, Ben was getting ready to attend yet another homecoming for a friend that had served an LDS mission, and I was getting myself ready to get to church on time(since I was released from being the Relief Society Pres, I have struggled with being on time!). I have some really interesting responsibilities now so I usually just go and get my cup refilled each week. These responsibilities include being an assistant to the assistant YW sports director and to the Primary board (classes for children in our church) to sit with the teacher of the 5 year olds and help keep them reverent during sharing time and then I can go to Relief Society for the last hour.Interesting calling, right? I don't think they really know what to do with me. Well to get on with the story the Primary President (whom I love dearly, I might add) came up to me before any of our meetings began and asked me if I would teach this class of 10 children. No prep time, no manual,no warning! If any of you know me, you know I fret and plan for a lesson all week to get it where I want it to be, Well not this day. She ran and got me a manual and I read through this lesson during the sacrament and thought, I CAN DO THIS!! Well everything started off real well except I didn't realize that no chairs were set up in my room and also that there were only 3 chairs in the room for the 8 children who attended this day, luckily a dear lady who was there to comfort her grandson in the class help me round up some chairs from another classroom. Then the lesson began by introducing myself since the kids only know me as the enforcer of reverence and aren't particularly fond of me for that! I began by telling a story of a little girl who lied to her friend about the size of fish she caught one day because actually the friend had caught a fish that was bigger than hers, we talked about the importance of always telling the truth even when it is hard to do. We talked about Jesus and how He always told the truth even though his life was in danger. I thought to my self "Wow! this is going real well and maybe I am a pretty good teacher." When we came to the last story in the lesson about a little girl accidentally breaking her moms scissors when the stuff happened that caused me to question my ability to teach young children at all. The kids began to ask questions about the story that was not included in the manual, Like....Why did she have her mom's scissors? How did she break them? Did she pull on them like this (as the little guy twisted his hands and arms around themselves)? Why didn't they own scissors that don't break like we do? Where did she hide the scissors after she broke them? Well you also need to remember my youngest child is 21, and that I haven't any grandchildren so, needless to say I don't spend much time around children at all any more. While trying to remember the lesson is about telling the truth I started out with a lot of maybe she did this or maybe this is how it all happened or maybe.......... Let's just say the little girl told her mom she didn't do it and then felt bad later and told her the truth. The great people who write these manuals need to include stuff that little inquisitive minds want to know, don't ya think? I guess I really need to learn how to think faster and anticipate these things from now on. We finished with a little secret message activity which went over some what but when some of them are still just learning to write letters you need to get down on their level and help them out. I really think all in all it went well and I learned a lot and I need to be better at always telling the truth as the lesson taught these children to do as well. I hope I have more opportunities to teach the class in the near future. The church is true and thus, so is primary!!!
