He Does Listen in Primary!

Kenny came up to me with a popcorn kernel all hyped up with excitement. He was going outside to plant that popcorn kernel, all by himself without my help, and he was going to grow a popcorn tree! I giggled a bit and gently explained that the kernel was actually corn, like what we eat for dinner. I told him popcorn corn was corn that popped open. If he plants the kernel and it grew, he would get a corn stalk.

His eyes darkened and he stared at me for a few moments. In a very serious tone he said, "Mama, don't you know that at church we learned the popcorn popping on the tree song. You have it all wrong!!!"

And with that he marched his little self right out the back door.

And somewhere in my flower beds is a little popcorn kernel, waiting to grow into a popcorn tree.
