Kids Pick Up On Everything

It's a well known fact that Richard Bean is an emotional and tenderhearted guy. Several people in the ward comment or joke with him about the tears he sheds while sitting on the stand in Sacrament meeting. He can't help it, he leaks over something tender almost every week.

While Alece and I were in a little meeting after church yesterday, our kids decided to kill some time in the chapel. I know, not the best place for them to "play" and we weren't thinking much of it until Cole Ercanbrack came in to report what they were up to.

Apparently, they were playing "Sacrament Meeting". Ethan was pretending to be his dad (the Bishop) and Gavin was his dad (the Bishop's counselor). The girls led music and played the organ. When Cole happened upon them, the two boys were sitting on the stand and Gavin, true to character, had a tissue in his hand and was repeatedly dapping his eyes to wipe away the "tears". We all got a good laugh over that one... except Richard.
