Salt, Pepper, and Jesus

What could the three of those things have in common. I am so excited you asked!!!!

I substituted with Jaron in his primary class (kid sunday school). We were talking about Easter and how Jesus died and such. We got to the part in the lesson where the women came to the tomb to put spices and oils on Jesus' body.

Jaron: Do you guys know what spices are?
(unanimous "no" head shake from the class)
Jaron: Spices are like Salt and Pepper

That's when I saw this one particularly active young boy pause, still as can be in his seat, and look at Jaron with a face that said "What? They put Salt and pepper on Jesus? My whole world has just been rocker"

I burst into laughter and then explained that they didn't put Salt and pepper on Jesus, they used other spices like frankincense and Mur. So fun. Jaron is pretty sure that, that was all he took away from the lesson. Nothing like confusing the rising generation!!!! ( p.s Jaron is seriously the best primary teacher. He is so awesome with the kids. And so dang funny!!!!)
