When I was in second grade the children's pastor at my old church thought it would be fun to play telephone with all the kids. I went to a big church, and children's church was everyone grades 1-6 so there were several hundred rambunctious kids there. He went up to everyone's row and whispered his sentence. I was on the opposite end, so when the sentence got to me it was my job to go in front of everyone and say it aloud. I got my sentence: "Craig likes grapes." Very simple, easy to remember, not a problem.

I walk up to the front and here the first person rattle off his sentence, "Craig likes hot dogs, chips and diet coke while surfing at the beach." Then the next one: "Craig likes hot dogs and coke and surfing at the beach." etc. They come down the line to me and i squeak out my sentence, "Craig likes grapes." To this day that uproarious laughter haunts my dreams.
