Mr. Creative

OK, So tonight we were doing family devotions. Usually we read a Bible story but lately we have been reading out of the boys Cubbie books from last year's Awana program. Anyway...

The story was cute. It was about 3 friends who were crossing a meadow to get to the park so they could have a picnic there. Well, the lamb, who was carrying the picnic basket, was skipping and every time she skipped another item fell out of the basket. So, by the time they got to the park all the food was out of the basket. They sat down for their picnic and realized their dilemma. The story actually didn't have an ending. You were supposed to tell what you thought the friends did next. Thomas, Judah, and I read the story through without Michael who was at the store. Then when Michael got back we read it again and he said what he thought the friends did next...These were the different answers-



Thomas- They turned around, went back and got the food. Then they came back and had their picnic.



Judah- They lost their food because they were skipping.



Michael- (who, if you remember, didn't hear the other answers) They went into the woods and shot a wild turkey, roasted it over a spit and ate it. The lamb whittled a tube out of a stick and stuck it into a tree and they collected maple syrup that they poured over the blueberries they collected.



ROFL- Is that a MAN answer or what?



I don't know if you laughed as hard as I did or not. You may have had to be there, but it was HILARIOUS!



Blessings!-Angela :)

Hey! I remember that story!

Michael is funny. :) My DH would have just joked that they barbecued the cat, or something. (He's always joking about cats and monkeys.) My kids just roll their eyes now. :)
