We help teach Primary (Sunday School for the children) at our church. Here's a funny scene that we saw occur a few weeks ago:
Primary Teacher: This a picture of Jesus as though he is a shepherd. See him with the sheep? He told a story about a shepherd with 100 sheep that is recorded in the Bible...(she goes on to explain the parable of the lost sheep)...so Jesus cares about each and every one of us and wants us all to be in his fold. We should also help family, friends, and neighbors come be with us if they are lost or unhappy. Will you do that?
Child: (raises her hand with a worried look on her face)
Primary Teacher: Yes.
Child: What is Jesus doing to that sheep in the picture?
Primary Teacher: He's carrying it around his neck.
Child: (as a look of relief comes over her) Oh! It looked like he was tearing it apart by the legs.

The kids say the funniest things. That was my favorite part about teaching primary. I kind of miss it. Nobody is quite as entertaining in Relief Society.
