Sure...a better man wouldn't have given Kole's Pre-K class such large candy bars at 9:30am...but I was told the banker who went before me on Career Day gave out money and pencils...money and pencils? Who can afford that in this economy?...and the dad who sells plastic arms and legs...he lived up to the hype.
Desperate times called for desperate measures. So instead of talking about the privledge I have of being a pastor...I took them on a tour of the building...we stopped and played every instrument in our new worship pastor's office, which was a big hit in itself...and topped off the tour by giving them candy bars and certain diabetes. The end result...I was the man...though it was actually Dinah Vaughn who brought me the candy...and it was Shannon Pirie's idea to give them candy...nonetheless...one little boy said, and I quote, "Kole's daddy, can you come back to our class?" To which Mrs. Hall turned and said to me, "Well I guess that tells you how you did. You get an A+" Sweet...I am in with the Pre-K-ers...I might stop by more often, who knows, I might audit mammal week.
Good thing you weren't an english teacher for career day. The title of your blog has a typo. "I will gladly give an career day report" I'm not representing the grammer squad on career day either, but I'm pretty sure it would be "a career day report" I thought that that was quite ironic of a typo.

Glad you were the hit of career day. Good job on the tour and candy. I am glad you let us know how it turned out. I was a little worried....
