Job Advertisment to work in Kids Ministry!
Hello you fine looking people.
I would love to get a collection of what you would sum up as a Job Advertisement to work in Kids Ministry!
What would it be:
* Must have a collection of shirts that all can be ruined by being slimed.
* Sense of humour is not mandatory, but you won't survive without it
* Must know how to read......... as much as your children anyway
* Must be willing to work for a boss that never leaves you alone, yet is never seen (now I am getting deep)
So if you have a bunch or a few or even half of one (I don't know how that would work) post them now and share them with us all. I am excited to see the different range of perspective from you obviously awesome people.
Have Fun

*Even though you would watch them anyways, Cartoons are now considered research.
*Must be willing to get into fists fights with all the local dentists; with all the candy you hand out every week, they're gonna want a piece of you.
*Should be quick to recover when you forget a kids name: a staple of generic names such as 'Buckaroo' or 'Fella' is a must
*Must be willing to live bald, as you're most likely going to lose a challenge and have to shave it off anyways
I don't know if this is what you're looking for...but this is what you get.
