Students and Church

I have a little guy at work; he's 5 and going into kindergarten and full of energy. Getting him to sit still and print letters is a very challenging task, although he will sit still when being read to. He loves stories.

The most common words from him:
"When me and mine stuffies take over the world..."
When this happens, he's going to make the clouds more colourful. First, though he has to bring his stuffies to life with the box. If you push the middle button, there will be lightning and it will go into his stuffies. If you push the other buttons, there will be food and drink.

Best conversation starter from him:
"What do you think it would be like if the world was full of marshmallows?"

I met a couple new kids at church yesterday (at least they were new to me, although I guess they may have been in the overflow room and I've never seen them). I don't know who they are. They seemed to be around 5 and 3 and they came into the library when I was working on the computer.
One of them asked: "Are you working in the Grace Church library?"
He's either very perceptive, not sure what work looks like, or he was lost and trying to get his bearings. They're nice boys, though; when I told them they couldn't play in the mess of stuff on the other side of the room, they came away from it right away.
