We had company last night, which meant that the kids got to bed way, way too late.

And, as little kids are always prone to do, the boys both got up with the sun this morning, despite the extremely late hour of their retirement last night.

I knew this was going to be a rough day.

I was right.

Thankfully the following only happened during our Vacation Bible School program practice and not the actual program.

Despite the fact that I was sitting several pews away from him, Logan somehow got it into his head that he “missed” me and proceeded to sob through the entire run-through. Never mind that he was one of the older kids in the bunch, his drama queen antics were worthy of an Oscar nomination.

Luckily, I had my camera along so I could capture his meltdown for posterity.

Yes, I was full of pride as the other teachers and I sat there watching my son freak out and his wails begin to get steadily louder.

An hour later, when the kids actually put on their program for the parents and grandparents, he was at the opposite end of the spectrum. Reminding me once again of the SNL skit with the hyper-hypo Mike Myers (if you haven’t seen it, you simply must click the link), Logan looked like he was on a sugar, caffeine and speed high all at once and in dire need of a sedative, if not a tranquilizer. The audience was actually laughing at his crazy movements, head nodding up and down, arms and legs all over the place.  Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera to the program in my haste to get my 3-year-olds down to the church, so I have no actual documentation.

I’m really not sure if I wouldn’t have preferred the crying…

Where’s the weirdest/most interesting/most embarrassing place your child has had a meltdown?
