Church Conversations

Elise refuses to stay in the nursery at church. Even when I leave her, they bring her back. So, while visiting a new church last night, I didn't even try to get her to stay int he nursery. Instead, I brought her into the sanctuary with me.

We were sitting there when a man stood up and began to testify. He was crying and there was no sound at all other than him. Until, Elise opened her mouth. This is how it went down:

E- I want to touch her coat. (She pointed to the lady in front of us as she was saying this)
M- Shhh. Let's listen to this man. And no, you cannot touch her coat.
**Elise has now climbed into my lap and is face to face with me**
E- I'm hungry!
M- Elise, be quiet. We'll get something to eat after this.
E- I want to touch your eye. (At this point she was already raising her finger close to my eye.)
**I close my eyes for her to touch my eyelid**
E- NO! Want to touch your eye!

Obviously, she didn't want to touch my eyelid, just my eyeball! This was an extremely sporadic conversation. She was so bored, bless her heart.
