Mad Molly gives St. Joe's a break

So instead we decided to impose our havoc upon another unsuspecting church. This Sunday Mad Molly and I attended the dedication ceremony of my god daughter Emma. I purposely had not told Molly we would be seeing Emma, Auntie, Uncle Dave and Grace because I wanted a quiet ride out to their church. Upon entering the Sanctuary, Molly and Grace let out a simultaneous greeting "Oh Molly" " It's Grace", they were so excited to see each other. Luckily it was a few minutes before the service started and not many people were there yet. As the church begins to fill, Grace settles in and Molly gets revved up, on the bench, off the bench, squealing, talking, trying to color on everything. Both her Auntie and I tried to calm her several times, to no avail so I decide...you know what..I'm going to take her downstairs to the toddler care room so she could run around, play and make all the noise she wanted to. As I left the sanctuary, Grace called after her "Molly!!!" but then settled right down...Upon my return to the pew, Grace (who is all of 2) turns to me and says as she points to the back of the church "Molly didn't make it"!!!!! To which I replied "you know what kid, you are right Molly didn't make it" It took just about everything I had in me not to laugh out loud. Kids just have a way of putting things so simply and true. Grace joined Molly after her sister's dedication in the toddler room and the two were reunited again and much joy was had by all along with several goldfish crackers which was the snack of the day.
