Family Home Evening Song

Tonight we had our family home evening. This is something that Mormon's are instructed to do each Monday night. We are supposed to set this night aside from work and play and even church activities, and spend the night with the family. We get the family together for a spiritual message or a short lesson, we read the scriptures, we say an opening and closing prayer and have an opening and closing song. Usually we have a treat at the end.

Tonight for the closing song we sang "If you chance to meet a frown" a favorite Mormon primary song that the kids love. I spontaneously I kept singing and made up a new verse.

If you chance to meet a clown
Do not let him stay
Quickly kick him out the door
And scream all the way.
(cause clown's are creepy of course, especially if you chance to meet him in your house)

As you can imagine this got the whole family laughing because it is supposed to be a cute song:

If you chance to meet a frown
Do not let it stay
Quickly turn it upside down
and smile the frown away

Leave it to me to get the kiddies all wound up and irreverent right before the closing prayer.

We are now making chocolate chip cookies to take to a couple neighbors.

Gotta run!

Until Next Time
