VBS (Read if you want to laugh)

We've had VBS (Vacation Bible School) all this week at our church. This has been my first experience ever with VBS and we all had a great week. It was every night from 6pm - 8:30pm. I was one of the crafts leaders and Tonii was a group leader. Dane was in one of the pre-school groups and Beka just hang out in the nursery with one of her surrogate grandmas. Tonight was the last night and at the end of the night all the parents came and the kids did a performance up on the stage of all the songs (with motions) that they've learned all week and then certain kids volunteered to recite the Bible verses that they learned all week too. Well this morning Tonii said "Honey you should go over the verses with Dane and maybe he can be one of the volunteers tonight." To which I responded "We have been and I will, but Dane doesn't really like to be in the spotlight honey and I don't think that he'll want to volunteer." Fast forward to tonight. Dane is the first kid to volunteer to say the first verse they learned Col 3:15 Always be thankful. Then as they all got up on stage for the performance Dane was all the way on the right side of the stage and by the time they were half way through the first song Dane had shimmied his way in front of all the other kids to make his way to the most front and center spot possible. He sang with fervent passion and did NONE of the rehearsed motions, but did his own CRAZY dances. He put on such a show. Tonii and I (and most of our friends) were crying because we were laughing so hard. I wanted to sink under the seat I was so embarrassed for him, but he was right at home passionately singing and dancing. I don't know where he could possibly get it from. I wish that I had photos, or a video clip would be even better. If someone else has some I will post them later and send if I get a video from tonight it is going to America's Funniest Home Videos (yes, it was really that funny).
