My friend’s husband teaches Rose’s church Primary class, and he has started collecting what he calls “Rose-isms.” These are the most recent two:
—
He held up a picture of a boy getting ready to pray, and asked what the boy looked like he was doing. Rose said, “His eyes look crazy. He looks like he’s thinking about killing us all.”
—
They were talking about reverence and what we do at home to be reverent. Rose said, “At my house, I have to work ALL DAY LONG. And then someone knocks on the door, and I have to hurry and get dressed and act like everything’s fine.”
—
And here’s another story told me by a friend who’s in Primary. During Sharing Time, the teacher asked the kids, “When someone receives a priesthood blessing, why do the men put their hands on the person’s head?”
Rose answered, “So they don’t get away.”

So tell me, how do I get my kids to work all day long then pretend like everything is fine when someone comes to the door?
Hilarious!!!
I really can NOT stop laughing.
I was trying to read these aloud to Guy but couldn’t get through them for laughing/crying! Maybe “Rose-isms” can become a regular blog feature!
Magnificent.
Richard would come home from church and tell me the Roseisms that he collected that day. We’ve got a list of them now, and we even pull them out and use them on each other when we need a laugh. Your children are fantastic!
Janae, did most of the ones on your list ever make it to my blog? If not, I think I need a copy!
