-A severely handicapped person
-A horribly, HORRIBLY introverted teen, often a boy
-The cynic who questions any changes proposed, even the most irrelevant changes in scheduling
-The headstrong person who likes to "challenge" people in Sunday School
-The Young Woman wearing a little too little
I'm sure I'm missing others right now. A Bishop? Not trying to be mean, just stating my observations. |
What about the older woman (sometimes senile) but sits in the back of class and raises her hand frequently. The teacher tries to avoid calling on her, but when it's unavoidable, the woman launches into a rambling account of her life story.
Or the woman who hijacks each lesson with a diatribe about non-Christian religions (Buddhists), her disgust over the professional sports teams' cheerleaders skirt length, or her latest visions involving meeting the devil on the moon?
No one else has such characters in their ward?
