to the woman sitting behind me in church this morning
A kazoo is perhaps NOT the best toy to give a preschooler during Mass.
I’m just saying.

Kazooing with Jesus…it’s the new rage.

We had a pastor once that enjoyed having a little “children’s sermon” during the service. He taught a little object lesson as they gathered round the steps of the altar. He would then give them a little something to help them remember the lesson and send them back to their seats.
He was an idiot. I say that lovingly. Okay, maybe not.
Seriously - it was ALWAYS something loud or crackly or full of sugar. I remember the day they all got a deflated balloon. The rest of the service was full of that squeaky, farty, playing with a deflated balloon sound.

You went to church?
Also, I think Kazoos are kind of fun. Liven things up, especially Mass.

I wondered when someone would say YOU WENT TO CHURCH? Yes I did, and I was not struck by lightning, which was truly a miracle.
It was Grandparents Day at Ye Olde Catholice Schoole, and there was Mass, and Charlie was crying and holding on to my leg, and so I stayed.
Amen.

Nice choice of toys. But here’s a better one. My MIL let my now Hubby take a cap gun into church with the specific instruction of NO CAPS with it. Yeah.. right. The blast was just as the elderly priest started his homily. In a church of about 25 families. Do you think that went unnoticed? Not a chance, he still gets harassed about it, and he’s 40 years old!

Wow. That’s even worse than sending him to daycare with two whistles.
I think.

My sister got married last month and some genius of a parent gave their three year old a toy trumpet to play with during the whole damn thing. I think we would have all preferred a kazoo.

and I’m thinking kazooing the responsorial psalm would be rather entertaining.

Could the kid carry a tune? I mean, at least it could have been harmonious. Or not.

Susan - can you e-mail me at the e-mail attached to this? For some reason my other e-mail doesn’t work, and I can’t access yours. Crazy stuff. Thanks, Laura
