Our ward had their annual Primary Sacrament Meeting Presentation last Sunday. Ethan had three parts. He did his first two parts perfectly, but had an amusing mix-up in the last part:
At the end of the program a number of children came to the stand to say "I am a Child of God" in different languages - eg. Korean, French etc. Ethan had to say "In Australian sign language we say I am a Child of God" and he would do the signs for 'I am a Child of God'.
At home he would often forget to say the "Australian" part. When he stood up at the stand he had forgotten again and so he turned to his teacher and said (loudly) "I don't know the language!". She (and the rest of the congregation) thought he had forgotten how to do the signs and so she helped him move his hands, which he didn't look too impressed about. In fact, he had just forgotten the word "Australian".
He also provided some amusement during the songs. The music leader would put his hand to his ear when the children needed to sing louder, but Ethan was the only child who responded to this direction. So, in a lot of songs you could hear Ethan singing VERY loudly out above the other children.
In sharing time I taught a lesson on the Armor of God. I had a picture of a suit of armor on the blackboard and asked the Primary if anybody knew what it was and it's purpose. Ethan raised his hand and said "that is what you wear if you live in a castle and fight dragons".
