Last Night's Junior High Chaos

We kicked off the year with a huge crowd at our first Chaos meeting, over half of the kids being brand new sixth graders, who I think a blast. Being their first Chaos meeting, they got to pick from the box of crap, which is a collection of dollar store junk that they seem to love. One of the 6th grade guys picked out a set of decorative plastic nut cups. He held on to these the rest throughout the meeting, including in our small group breakout time. In our guys small group, we were talking about the types of things you have to leave behind to follow Jesus where one of the kids shared the obvious thing: nut cups.

The boys were wetting themselves laughing at this idea and every time anyone said 'nut cups', the guys kept laughing harder and harder. Every time I used the words "nut cups" they assumed I had no idea why it should be funny. That's the beauty of having a sixth grade sense of humor.
