Tom the Service Turkey

David:  "Mom, are you going to read in your room?
"Me:  "I could.  Why?
"David:  "Because... I can't tell you."
Me:  "OK, I'm almost done here then I'll go read in my room."
David:  "Will you tell me when you're going?
Me:  "All right."

David was eager for me to go to my room.  Apparently he wanted me away from the kitchen.  I knew it had something to do with a church service.  I had seen the handout that he received (picture above). 

In my room, Sophia slipped and told me what David was up to.  He was washing the dishes!  I was kinda nervous thinking I'd probably have a mess to clean up after him, but then I thought ... how precious is this?!  He is applying what he learned in church and is doing a random act of secret service for someone ...me!  What a wonderful boy.

So later I go to the kitchen to find Tom the Service Turkey on the kitchen counter. 

David:  "Surprise Mom!  I washed the dishes."

Me:  "Wow, that's great.  Thank you!  You did a great job too.  Thanks Son."

David:  "You're welcome.  It was the second hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life!"

Me:  "Oh.  What was the first?"

David:  "The time I tried not to scream on the roller coaster."

Me:  "Huh?  Not to scream?"

David:  "Yeah, a long time ago with Kuya Blake.  We were in a scary roller coaster and I was trying not to scream."

Me:  "Okay."

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, today I am thankful for the Church's Primary program that teaches principles centered in Christ.  Thank you Primary teachers for the care you take to impart those fundamentals.
