A Day In The Life - 8/22: Putting on the Armor

It is SO much fun to be a boy. Girls seldom do crazy stuff.
So, here we are at church having a lesson on putting on the whole armor of God, and the instructor hands out bags of straws. And eggs. And everyone is supposed to make a package that the egg can fit into and be dropped without breaking. You remember - 4th grade science class. We're still there.
So here are all these guys, most between 20 and 30, outside in 110-degree heat, wearing dress shirts, ties and suits, testing out their "armor". Some cracked up right away and every time one went south the instructor would say something like, "You haven't been saying your prayers" or "You need to read your scriptures more." It was really funny. (Guess you had to be there . . . )

It was actually quite surprising how well some of these creations made from soda straws did. One took a tumble right at the beginning and then sat out in the parking lot looking like a big yellow eye. But we also did the Myth Buster thing and determined that the pavement does NOT get hot enough to cook an egg, even in August in Phoenix.
