Just when you think they aren't listening

My kids are not quiet talkers. And while we have worked on whispering for years... well, I don't know why I try. I love how I remind them in church to whisper and they look at me and keep talking in the exact same volume. You all know what I mean.

Well, my daughter talked through most of Sacrament meeting this Sunday, reading to herself or talking to her brother. Which was actually great because she was sitting almost the whole time and wasn't bickering or bothering anyone almost the whole time. Who cares if THEY listen to anything... as long as the people around us can listen.

So later in Primary, the primary president asks the Junior primary (over 100 kids) if anyone knew what one of the talks was about. One kid raises their hand. My daughter. And she answered it correctly. WHAT!!??! I was completely blown away!! I know people say that kids hear when you don't think they do, but usually, you would expect the kid to at least not be talking to hear! Anyway, completely amazing. It made me feel pretty good.

Kind of made up for my son answering another question by the primary president, "My mom was really crabby yesterday!"
