Am I the only one who thought "Oh, one of THOSE families" when I read this? Every ward has at least one. Yikes. |

BY's axiomatic statement comes to mind, "in the chapel, crying children, like good intentions, should be carried out." We had a great family who adopted Jay's hands-off policy, the son would run through the chapel during sacrament, ruffle through the curtains, pull on the linens, and make a ruckus. Loads of fun for the parents. I don't know where he is now.

I've got a story about the "walk of shame" into church. My parents had seven kids at the time, including a new baby. My dad dropped my mom and the kids off at the front door and then went off to park the van. We went into the chapel just before the meeting started and sat up near the front on the far side of the chapel. My dad came back from parking the van and sat down with us. Sacrament meeting was just starting. Then my mom leaned over to him and whispered, "Where's the baby?" So, while the announcements and opening song were going on, my dad had to stand up, walk down the aisle and then across the back, go outside, grab the baby in the infant seat from the van where he had left him, and then carry the baby back into the chapel, all the way across the back and up the aisle to our seat. I don't think anyone had to ask what happened.

I read about babies dying in cars all the time. Scares me to death even to consider the fact it is possible.

Way too often there are stories about dads forgetting their kids in the car. It freaks me out too. When I was a stay-at-home dad I used to freak out sometimes when I would drive without my son because I'd think I accidentally left him somewhere.

If the parent of the kid in my ward hadn't run over to grab him, should I let him pull down the sacrament cloth? I half got up to grab him, but the father finally stood up.
I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. Touch someone else's kid, or let a huge disruption occur. |
