The Never Whisperer

Cameron has not mastered the art of whispering. He was super loud at church today.

Me: Cam, do you want me to tell you a story about Jesus during the sacrament?

Cam: YES.

Me: Okay, you have to be really quiet and listen, okay?

Cam: OKAY!

Me: Shhh. This is the story of when Jesus was born . . . [story] . . . and when the shepherds looked up in the sky, what did they see?

Cam: A BIRD!

Me: No, they saw a new star. Remember?

Cam: A NEW STAR!

Me: That's right.

Cam: {Fake cough cough cough}

Me: Cameron, don't fake cough, okay? You're spreading germs. Let's be really quiet so we can think about Jesus.

Cam: I WANT A CANDY FROM DAD. DAD, I WANT A CANDY.

Me: Shhh. People want to think about Jesus. If you're quiet, you can think about Jesus too.

Cam: {Cough cough cough}

Me: {Hand to ear} Listen . . . What do you hear?

Cam: I HEAR JESUS COUGHING.
