New Church Hymn?

I forgot to post this. It is pretty danged funny... well, it is now, but not so much when it happened.

On Father's Day, we were enjoying Sabbath services as usual. Wee little Isla and her parents usually sit with us and we all help to keep her entertained, or at least as quiet as possible. On my iPad, I have this doodle app where she can draw and touch pictures to put on the screen. Well, little kids today are what I call "Swipers". Yeah, they are born to swipe and touch icons in this technology-laden world. Granted, they don't always know what they are touching or swiping, but it's enough that things appear and things move. I guess it was my turn to watch her (as she was sitting on my lap), but I wasn't paying as close attention to her as I should have been (I must have been deep in thought about the sermon being delivered or something- I'm sure it wasn't about what the family was going to fix me for dinner ;) ). Apparently the little swiper got busy doing her thing, must have closed out the doodle app and opened up iTunes. All of a sudden, a new church hymn began to issue forth from my iPad. It caught me off guard and freaked me out. Realizing it was coming from my iPad, I just closed it(I have a cover on it). Well, iTunes does not shut off when it is closed. I also have a code which locks the screen so little fingers can't just get on auto magically and wreak havoc. Frantically, I started pushing digits trying to get in. I finally had to take a deep breath and focus for a second before I could open it up and shut off the music. Needless to say, I turned a few head that day in church, and it wasn't because of my nice hair.

Who knew that Led Zeppelin's Dazed And Confusedhad been added to the Classic Church Hymns? Rock on!

  1. Dude, that is hilarious! I can just hear Robert Plante singing "been dazed and confused for so long it's not true. Wanted a woman, never bargained for you..." Yea, baby! Now that's what I call a rocking sac meeting, man! Probably a good thing it wasn't "Heartbreaker" or "Custard Pie" or something. Ouch! You made me laugh out loud with this one, and I'll be WAY more careful with my Ipad in Church!!
