The evil toe

So some of you may know that Tracey and I teach a primary class. Because our primary is tiny and highly dysfunctional, we are stuck with kids ranging from 6 year-olds that have not learned to read to 9 year-olds that just need some attention. The age difference is made even worse by the lesson book which is aimed toward the younger kids, making it far too basic for the older ones. Aside from those issues, our class is great. The kids are really smart and funny. Sometimes we are amazed at the grasp they have on gospel principals, and if they do not fully understand them they at least come up with some funny explanations.

A perfect example of this was when we were talking about baptism by immersion. We asked the kids why we needed to be fully immersed. They responded that if one toe comes out of the water, all of the sins go into that toe and it becomes an evil toe. It was even funnier the next week when we asked a kid that was not there previously the same question and he gave the same answer. I was trying to figure out what exactly and evil toe looks like and this picture is pretty close to my vision. The only change I would make is maybe little devil horns and a devil tail. I shudder to think at what would happen if a whole foot came out.
