Joe thinks you would all enjoy something that happened at Church this year before we left for Branson so I'll share it with you. Most of you know that I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On Sunday we have a 3 hour block of meetings at church. Our first meeting in the morning is called Priesthood meeting for the men and boys over 12, Relief Society for the women, Young Women for the teenage girls and Primary for the children. The second meeting is Sunday School where all the adults are together, the teenagers have Sunday School classes with their age groups and the children stay in Primary. Wayne and I attend the Sunday School class that is in the same room as where I attend Relief Society. Just for your information the third block of meetings is where the whole family meets together in the chapel to attend Sacrament Meeting. There is a 10 minute break in- between blocks.
One Sunday morning after Relief Society was over, I found a place to sit on the second row from the back and reserved a chair for Wayne by putting my scriptures on it. Sunday School started and Wayne didn't come in so I thought maybe he didn't feel well and went home. After about 15 minutes into the Sunday School lesson Wayne quietly enters the room trying not to disturb the class or the teacher that was presenting the Sunday School lesson. I moved my scriptures so he could sit in the padded chair next to me. I got my scriptures out to follow along with the class and Wayne not bringing his own scriptures, bent over a little to look at my scriptures with me. There was a vacant chair on the other side of Wayne and soon he moved over to that chair, with a chair in-between us.
Wondering why he had moved, I looked over and there was a big, wet, yellow, spot on the padded chair that he had been sitting in. I'm sure the row behind us noticed what he was doing and I was a little embarrassed for him because obviously he hadn't been able to make it to the bathroom and had an accident. I looked over at him and he just sat there listening intently to the teacher. In about 30 minutes the class was over and it was time to move into the chapel for Sacrament meeting.
Wayne then told me that he had a horrible headache and had gone home in-between Priesthood meeting and Sunday School to get a Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew for some reason cures Wayne's headaches better then anything else - even medications. Before coming into the room for Sunday School he had put the can of Mountain Dew with a straw in the inside pocket of his jacket in order to sip on it during church without anyone noticing. When he bent over to read off of my scriptures his Mountain Dew had spilt on his chair and that was why the chair was wet and why he had moved over. The people in the row behind us had already left the classroom so I couldn't explain to them why the chair was wet. They still think Wayne wet his pants. I still can't figure out why he didn't tell me right after he spilt the Mountain Dew. I had spent the last 30 minutes trying to talk myself out of being embarrassed!
Don't forget to start your diet tomorrow and weigh in!

That is funny!! I weighed in today, diet starts tomorrow. Will you get to blog on the cruise? I hope you have a great time! I use Ice Tea to combat my headaches, it's the caffiene that helps me. An occasional Excedrin Migraine (also caffiene) helps. However lack of caffiene also can cause headaches so sometimes it a vicious circle. LOL.
Well, Kathy. You wonder if Wayne needed Depends when the accident happened. LOL Well luckily it was his Mountain Dew, but bad color to have when you think you had a little accident on yourself.
Poor Wayne and poor you.
You, Wayne and the brothers have a safe trip tomorrow.
Oh how embarrassing! I would have just died! Good thing it was MD and not...well...an accident!
I'm ready to weigh in or start tomorrow - LOL!!!! But I will start exercising 1st thing in the morning.
Poor Wayne - Squirt and now Mountain Dew. The caffeine probably helps his headaches. It has more caffeine than Pepsi or Coke.
The funny thing about this one, he never once seemed to act embarrassed, did he?? He just walks in and sits down, then moves over...you getting embarrassed rather than him.
Ha that is very funnny. I have a funny church story. When my daughter Hayley was around 15 months old my hubby had a bad habit of everytime he farted he would say
Stop that Hayley
He thought it was pretty funny. Until that is in the middle of church one day, when the water was being passed around and everyone was quite. Hayley farted quite loud. In a very loud voice she said.
Stop that daddy
Boy did she get him back! He never did that again to her. Shes 21 now and at byu hawaii and we still laugh about that time in church. He always jokes that hes banned form the churches in sandy.
Too Funny! Kathy-- LOL I guess that will teach him not to bring a soda pop can to church lol! probably not! LOL
That is SO funny!!
Too Funny. We have a children's sermon at our church. The pastor was talking about names and meanings and how god knew you before you were born. My son pipes up and says my mom calls me bucket head. Everyone laughs and turns I wondered if there was room enough under the pew for me to crawl underneath.
That is funny.
I remember once when my brother had to been about 5 I think and it when King and I was playng on broadway in NY( this wasn't when Marie on in it.) So my brother stood up, pointed to the King and said: " There's the King! There's the King!!" And my mother was mortified, I think she wanted to hide and everyone in the auditorium turn to look at my little brother, and the KING was also looking at my brother..according to my mother, his face was white.
Priceless!
This is... hilarious!!! and so embarassing.
ROFLOL! That is too funny. by the way, it's the caffeine in the Mt. Dew..I too have headaches.. Thanks for sharing the story
Funny story Kathy and its great many people are joining in on your weight loss programme. Ill start running when all this snow clears from the pavements
Life certainly must be interesting with Wayne!!! I also drink mt dew for headaches but my sugar is high so I drink the diet!We were at Mass when my son was 3 the priest asked the rhetorical question What do you say when satan calls you? my 3 yr old son screamed at the top of his lungs NOOOO!!!!! The priest looked at us (by this time I was laughing hysterically) and just quipped "Well at least he got the right answer!
Oh, Kathy!
How funny! I'm sorry you were so embarrassed but completely understand the reason(s) why you would be, anyone would be, that's for sure!
Maybe Wayne needs to write a new book, telling of this story & so many others that aren't in his previous book. This IS classic-brought a smile to my face & a chuckle to my heart.
Glad you seem to ALWAYS have so much fun - I'd LOVE to be a "fly on the wall" sometime just to see all the amusing, funny, silly things that go on with Wayne, you & your family :D
Hoping for GREAT news on Wayne's recent MRI!
My Prayers are with you,
Deb T.
I totally feel for you Kathy. But was funny it is good when people manage to see the funny side. Those other stories too were really funny. One lady, an immigrant from South America (Yes we ahve quite a few from there too) held the closing prayer. She held a good prayer just a tiny little pronounciation,word mistake. Strength is Kraft and Canser is Kreft so she eneded up praying that please give us Kreft....
Wow thats different having Sacrement meeting last.... We have our Sacrement meeting first followed by Sunday School and then Relief Society--- however I am first councillor in YW so that is at the end of the day..
I investigated the church becasuse of the Osmaonds (sure you here that alot) and have been a member since 1977. My blog photo is of the Regina Temple in Saskachewan Canada.
Okay I have to say, I know I am coming on board late, but TOO DANG FUNNY!!! I laughed so hard I cried on this one. Thanks Kathy for sharing this.
