My mother and I both volunteer in Awanas on Wed nights, she with the second graders and I with the first. We ride together. Last week when I couldn't find her in the sanctuary I went out to the car and waited on her, which took some time because she was looking for me. She told me I should know she wouldn't leave me and to wait to meet up in the sanctuary.
Well, tonight - she left me! She got in the car with my nephew and just drove away. One of her co-teachers from her class texted her to tell her I was looking for her after the church was nearly empty, and that's when she realized she had forgotten me! She called me and told me to wait outside, she was turning around and coming back.
It was funny because I told the co-teacher of hers who texted her for me that I was not worried, she had to be here somewhere, because she had told me that, like the Holy Spirit, she would neither leave nor forsake me. So much for the Holy Spirit!
I told my nephew, 8, that I couldn't believe he let her leave without me! I said, 'When you were 3 your Mama took you to Disney Land and you wanted to know where your RaRa was, now, not only do you no longer call me RaRa, but you let your Mammaw leave without me!
The whole thing was hilarious! And I was left waiting outside for 10, maybe 15 minutes, so no big deal, just a good laugh.

Ha! Reminds me of the time my mom took me to manhattan for the Puerto Rican parade and walk away from me. She yelled at me for getting lost but I stayed where she left me .

I had to look up the word Awanas on the internet. It is the first time I saw that word.
