To the tune of Jingle Bells.
Family Night!
Family Night!
Samson’s on the run.
Monica is on her head
This is so much fun.
Family Night!
Family Night!
Someone starts to pout.
Listen up and don’t you fight
Or you’ll go to timeout.

I realize this is not a masterpiece. I have no idea when I wrote it before Caleb was born and also before Monica could put her bottom on the couch for more than three seconds consecutively. Looks like I taught some kind of FHE class back in the day. Who knew?
Too funny!
This reminds me of a comment from a guy in my old ward. Something to the effect of: “Our Family Home Evenings start with a prayer, then a fight, then a closing prayer.” Been there!
On the song theme – Marathonermom wrote a hilarious one about primary children to the tune of Latterday prophets. Let’s see if she still has it.
Marathoner, if you have it, whisper it to me and I’ll post it as an article. I should dig up my camp modesty song…
Wow, I’m flattered that someone remembered this! Here you go:
Primary Children
(Sung to the tune of Latter-day Prophets ?)
Words by Sherise Longhurst
Primary children are so much fun
When they are wild, and want to run.
They take off their shoes and then
They mark the chalkboard with ball-point pen,
Giggle and talk, and run all around,
Wrestle their friends, and roll on the ground
Beat their siblings up with scriptures their mothers made them bring.
But deep down inside I know somehow they ?re learning.
Their fledgling testimonies are burning.
I ?ll do my best to show them the way
Because they ?ll be leading the Church someday.
marathoner and vinniecat know each other… Another connection!
Are there others out there? The only two I know personally are Ray and Mandy.
I know dollmaker, nanacarol, and delmar. all people I would take to a desert island with me!
Actually, vinniecat and I don’t know each other in real life. (At least, I don’t think so!) She just has a really good memory!
Ahh… Someone who can remember what was posted months ago. That’s impressive, vinniecat!
