Sometimes I have a singing time go so well, that I hold on to the idea and do it again. Last year for Christmas I did a little singing program for the kids using ornaments and a little nativity scene. I assigned a song to each piece. It felt so spiritual and reverent that day! I came away feeling great!
Well, like I said in the title - there are no repeats. I guess our ward was feeling a little rowdy today. Sacrament meeting was kind of loud. The primary room was missing the music stand and table - in fact most rooms were missing their tables because the Spanish branch didn't put them away after their party last night. Primary was just plain crazy.
I can see how it can happen. It is a busy time of year. People are out and about. Kids don't get enough sleep. The morning rush of getting to church (we were actually late). But I was a little hurt when junior primary booed me. I learned a long time ago not to ask them yes or no questions because they always yell no. But today we had some extra time and I suggested that we sing the last song I had planned one more time and they booed me. What's a chorister to do? I hope I handled it ok. I calmly said they had to stop and I don't like being booed and that they had to sing the song anyway.
So I should have planned a more exciting singing time for today. Who can guess what the mood will be for any given week? I can't.

I feel your pain! When I was in charge of scouts I had to learn to get too upset if things didn't go as planned. Seems like they never did!
That is so rude for them to boo!!! I would happily yell some kids for you. hehe
Ugh! Sorry it didn't go well! Booing? Where do kids learn stuff like that? I'm so excited for you to start teaching songs to Tyler in a couple weeks. He was singing Follow the Prophet and Popcorn Popping yesterday.
