There's a Kid's Club being run by one of the local churches during the school holidays here and today a guy at work and the officemate headed over there to help out with a little play sort of thing that was being put on to entertain the kids. Being a rather slow day, I decided to head over and have a field trip kind of adventure (plus kids often provide much amusement with their lack of self-editing).
The officemate got to be a Roman soldier and the other work guy was a disciple of Jesus (or something like that). We had to hide from the soldier, so were off wandering the rabbit warren-like church building with the kids being told to "Shhh! Or the soldier will hear us!" which didn't seem to bother them at all, as they all talked ten times louder. Truly a cacophony of children.
But then the Roman soldier found us (of course) and the kids all screamed. A lot. And loudly. It's kind of hard not to giggle, especially with the officemate in what could only be described as a mini-tunic over his regular clothes. Then the kids start throwing cushions and one little boy peeks out from under a table he'd wriggled under and starts screaming, "DIE! DIE! KILL! DIIIIIE! DIE!!!"
When things settle down a little, the play progresses nicely. Well, as nicely as it can with a little boy using his lanyard to wrap around his neck noose-style and saying, "I'm going to kill myself! I WILL!" which made me wonder just where on earth he'd have gotten such an idea from... And somewhat glad there wasn't a guillotine handy or something, or he'd have had his head in it going, "I'll chop my head off! I WILL!"
But yes, the play progressed nicely until question-time following it. The other work guy asks, "What do we know about Jesus?" and kids come up with a few answers, with a little girl giving a pearler of a reply: "His birthday is on Christmas!" Very cute.
Then when asked if the kids want to tell others about Jesus, they all chorus, "Nooooo!" like dutiful little atheistic sheep. Then some realise the answer's meant to be "Yeeeeeees!" and the answer slowly changes to that.
No wonder Jesus loves the little children. They're all quite sugar-high bonkers and hilarious, really!

Aww, how cute!
Cute and deeply bizarre *lol*
Yes, cute as long as I am not alone in a room full of children.
Who knows what they might do?
Possibly eat you. I swear in some of the photos I took, the kids look like zombies.
Or giant corpse-eating badgers?
No, zombies. And we all know zombies like to have at least six servings of brains per day to stay that healthy pallid colour.
True, now I need to either act like i have no brains or employ a zombie hunter to stay with me night and day.
OMG.
Suddenly...
I REALISE WHAT CLEO AND COSMO ARE FOR!!!
By telling us to be brainless, they're trying to save us from the zombie hordes.
Like. Totally.
Wow, and its only taken how many years to put them to use?
But knowing what they are for gives us brains.
Time to invest in zombie hunters.
Possibly dressed as stripper cops ;)
Ut-oh.
I think you're right about the zombie hunters. And not bumbling Shaun of The Dead style ones.
Hot stripper cops who know what they are doing and can feed us grapes on a day bed in their spare time :D
Either that or clean the house. And the yard. I'd so be happy with that. My goodness. I think it's middle age o.0
No, it's all good, snapped out of it!
This day bed / slave thing is inspiring me to wear togas!
You know the weirdest thing with today? The old lady at the kid's club thing saying to me when I came in with officemate and other work dude, "Are you a slave?" I'm like, "Yes. One of them."
Deeply odd.
And I wasn't even wearing my gladiatorial shoes.
It was the toga and wreath on your head that gave it away. ;)
Darn Dress As A Roman Day!
Although you'd think the slaves wore other things than togas and wreathes.
Wonder if it was the skull-and-crossbone cardi that made her ask?? o.0
pirate slave?... i am not going to add my next thought to that.
Other than "Yarrrr..."
And wondering when Captain Jack Sparrow will appear, but knowing it'd probably be Barbosa instead that did.
Bleh.
Captain Jack Sparrow's slave... I could be that.
Just gotta wait around in Tortuga for a while with the rum. ;)
You can be it if you want *lol* Although Johnny Depp is hot, there doesn't seem to be much of an emphasis on personal hygiene for the character... Much rum would be in order?!
Could introduce him to the pleasure of shared baths ;)
This is true.
With lots of bubbles. And enough water in the tub to start bump up the Stage Whatever Water Restrictions.
and cause a national enquiry as to where all the water has gone.
Today Tonight will follow us around shouting abuse :D
And Anna Corrin will look very serious at the end of the segment saying, "What a terrible waste of water, I'm sure we all want to do our part to preserve this. Precious. Resource. And now on the subject of precious resources, a segment about dancing citrus fruit..."
dancing citrus fruit... hmm... i will watch on that day.
Remember to take drugs before doing so. Might make more sense. Either that or there'll be another incident with the host wearing a lizard on jacket while mourning the death of a National Icon ;)
