Sunday's vs. Sundaes




So we had this FHE on keeping the sabbath day holy. It was an object lesson. You start out with a bowl of vanilla ice cream. Then you ask the kids if ketchup would be a good topping. Of course they say no, right? No...not my kids. We found every condiment we had and asked our kids one by one if that would be a good topping. We said "well, we like mustard don't we?" They said "yes" so obviously it must be great for ice cream! We put on every condiment and showed it to the kids and asked them if they wanted a bite. I was expecting them to see the horrible color it had turned into and they would say no..but they didn't. They were over joyed to try this ice cream. It was soooooo yucky. The look on each of their faces was pretty funny. So then we talked about how some things are good for some things and not so good for others. Then we changed it to some things are good to do on Sunday and some things are best not to do on Sunday. Rebekah got it but Isaiah kept trying the ice cream and each time he'd make a disgusted face. It was like he couldn't understand why he didn't like this ice cream. It's ice cream I HAVE to like it! :)
