You Know You Have a Problem When . . .

your children fight at the church about their make-believe game, "Church."

Julie and David like to clean the church during our assigned month. Usually they straighten the hymnals and dust the pews in the chapel while I supervise, but Saturday I used "The Pig" (the industrial-strength vacuum) to clean the chapel, which takes longer, so I sent the kids to wipe down window sills in the rooms around the church. I hadn't seen them for a while, so I stopped the vacuum and went to the Primary room (the most likely place) to find them. They were pretending to hold Primary, and the usual argument of who is in charge of the game ensued. (Julie usually claims David needs to play her way and quits playing if David suggests a variation.) I found it quite hilarious that they were fighting at church over "Church."
