Yesterday at church Nathan finished his sticker puzzles a little early, so my husband (who was sitting next to him) was entertaining him as best as he could. In a brilliant flash of inspiration (or so he thought), Justin gave Nathan his wedding ring to play with and try on.
Nathan got the ring on his finger and then tried to get it off, but it was stuck. After trying to help him get the ring off for a minute, Justin gets my attention at the other end of the pew and asks if I have any lotion. What? He showed me the problem. By this point Nathan was getting quite upset that the ring wouldn't come off his finger and was starting to say "Help" every 10 seconds quite loudly. I didn't have any lotion, so he took Nathan by the hand and pulled him out of the meeting as quietly as he possibly could. Mind you we were on the second pew from the front, so anything we do is quite obvious. Nathan continued to say "Help" every few seconds as Justin took him out while the rest of us sat there giggling at the hilarity of the situation. I'm sure the person speaking at the time didn't find it very funny:).
Anyway, about 5 min later Nathan came skipping down the aisle back to our pew, happy as a lark. Justin had been able to get the ring off Nathan's hand in the bathroom with some soap. Crisis averted! Nathan kept grabbing Justin's hand after that to gaze at the offending ring, probably wondering why in the world Justin would ever put a ring on his finger. Memo to self--Never let Nathan try your ring on again.
