chuckling

Last Sunday, a counselor asked Barry if he'd play Joseph in our Stake nativity. Barry was eager to accept because it would mean he would have an excuse to keep growing his beard until Christmas.

They told him he would have a few lines to say, something from Joseph's perspective.

Later, I teased him that they would be lines like:

-Think of all the money we're saving Mary by staying in this manger.
-This baby doesn't look anything like me.


I mean, seriously what would Joseph say?

Barry's speaking part arrived in the mail today, I admit, I just had to open it.....

Now, I'm chuckling all the more, I just can't see Barry or Joseph saying any of this.


I just hope Mary is cute, for his sake, and over 18 ......talk about awkward ;)

oh and he gets to make his own costume.....




I'm definitely attending the Nativity this year.

I'm sure he would appreciate your support as well.

Come one, come all.

I always enjoy your posts. YOu make me smile and laugh. I may just have to head out there for the nativity. You have peaked my interest. Then I would get to meet your adorable children!

You NEED an excuse for a beard??

yes, Barry needs an excuse for a beard. I do not like him in a beard. Goatee yes, beard no.
Update: after reading his part Barry said he had a headache and didn't go to the practice, he also said there was no way he was going to say those things, maybe in practice, but not for the real thing. SO I guess this is getting all the more interesting....
