We recreated a Primary sharing time this week that Paul remembered from 20+ years ago.
One not so fancy apron with lots of pockets. One gardening hat. One pair of circle zebra print glasses. Old lady shoes, and a knowledge of the Friend Magazine. Voila! I became Mrs. Friendly! Oh, and let's not forget, all those pockets bulging full of prizes like stickers, rubber stamps, candy, or even CTR rings to hand out.
I was nervous. Those of you that really know me are probably thinking "Evonne, shy?". I usually don't mind being the center of attention, but I had this "other" Ms. Friendly to live up to! If Paul remembers this being cool from 20+ years ago, I had to make it cool for these kids. I want them it mimic me in 20 years. Oooh, the challenge I faced.
(I did my hair different, but you get the idea. It was funny how many younger kids didn't recognize me!)
It turned out well, or at least Paul and I thought so! The kids were excited, and I wasn't as nervous 3 seconds in to it. I would definitely do it again for sharing time, and we even thought about Mr. Friendly coming too! ;)
