You Talk Too Much

July 1, 2008

Three boys in Grade 6 can’t seem to keep their mouths shut- they need so much attention. During afternoon study today I asked them to try to be quiet for 5 minutes…they couldn’t do it, after that though they were pretty quiet. Suddenly they asked why they should be quiet anyway. “Do you want to know what the Bible says about people who talk too much?” Yeah they said. “The Bible says that people who talk too much talk…ovipuropuro (nonsense).” The whole room erupted in laughter. I didn’t even know I was going to say it- the Otjiherero just fell out of my mouth.
