I have a confession to make. I like to go to church (no pun intended!). I like going to church for lots of reasons, but one of the main reasons is my never ending quest for quiet. I don’t get a lot of quiet at home, or peace for that matter. With two boys, a rambunctious husband and a slightly large dog, we do not have a quiet home. But by nature, I’m quiet. I like quiet. I miss it. A lot. So I look forward to my time in church, because it has to be quiet there.
Doesn’t it?
Let me just give you an example of what I had to listen to during maybe the last five minutes of church, during the announcements. My sons are old enough that they can be quiet in church, and they are. But once they get to the announcements and the final song, it’s like they HAVE to let themselves speak, they can’t control it any longer. So here is what I get to enjoy while the nice lady from the womens club is talking:
Son: Mom, you’re a woman, you should be in that club.
Other son: Yeah, and she’s talking about giving to the needy, you like to give. And you’re needy.
Son: Did she just say Christmas Bazaar? You ARE a little bizarre, mom, so you really should join!
Other son: Yeah, bizarre. (muffled yet uncontrollable giggling)
Son: She’s going to be in the lobby after church, you better sign up. Oh now it’s time to sing. Sing loud mom!
Other son: Don’t sing loud, we don’t want to offend anyone. (more uncontrollable giggling, verging on being unmuffled)
Son: Yeah, who forgot their breath mint?? (more giggling, not quite muffled)
Throughout all of this absolute nonsense, my face is getting redder and redder, but I can’t do anything, because if I so much as look in their direction, all that muffled giggling will turn into a laughing fit like you’ve never seen. Because they’ve held it in for an ENTIRE HOUR, they are on the verge of collapsing with laughter.
I just want to know one thing. WHY don’t they do this to their father?

Part of the problem is I’m such a big kid, I think they’re funny too. I have to be very careful not to let myself laugh at them in places like that, because I can get tickled pretty easy. I try to be an adult, but it’s hard
