Our Church has a "Children's Liturgy" for kids in kindergarten through second grade. Respecting that they have more of a need to be involved and moving, they are called up to the front of the Church to gather before removing to some rooms set aside for them to hear the readings and activities.
Father Mark generally addresses the group first with a short message.
"Today," he said, "is the Gaudete Sunday, the third Sunday of Advent. Father Mark is wearing ROSE colored robes, NOT pink, ROSE. Okay??" He should have stopped there. "Now, what color am I wearing?"
The group loudly announced, "PINK!!" The Church erupted in laughter.
Father rolled his eyes, looked heavenward, and said, "All in the name of Christ! I can see I have a lot of work to do."
After the children removed to their room, he turned to the remaining congregation and reminded us of Johnny Carson's words, "Never work with animals or children."

I'd say Father practices what he preaches! How cute!
Rejoice, and again I say, Rejoice!
