Baby Shark Blasting in Church Yesterday Was an Unexpected Shock

Baby Shark

Every mother and grandmother knows what the Baby Shark song is, but for those of you who live without little kids in the house, it’s a really annoying song that for some reason kids love. It’s not annoying the first ten times or so, but trust me after 100 times you want to throw up.

So what does Baby Shark have to do with church (No, it is not in our hymnal). Let me set the scene up for you.

I had two of my granddaughters with me and they were being so good during the sermon. Then the one next to me started getting fidgety but not too bad. Out of the corner of my eye I saw she was looking at something but I didn’t pay much attention.

That’s when it happened. The toy she was playing with began playing Baby Shark loud enough that every child in the auditoriums head swiveled to find the source of the song. It was literally like the Piped Piper. Kids hear that song and they will follow it anywhere!

What to do?

I grabbed it out of my granddaughter’s hand and started looking for an off switch. There wasn’t one. Now I’m panicking and adults are starting to turn around and giggle. If I couldn’t turn it off then maybe I could put it somewhere it couldn’t be heard. I raised up, shoved it under my backside and sat down. It worked! You couldn’t hear it! However everyone around me was cracking up.

It wasn’t comfortable but it wasn’t painful so I sat. The preacher finished and we stood for the closing song. “Baby Shark” started singing again. I sat back down as fast as I could to more giggles. This time I didn’t move again until the service was over and most of the people were out the door.

Thankfully our preacher’s wife took the toy and gave it to a little boy who took it home with him (Poor mom, dad and nana will now have to figure out how to get it away from him).

One of my daughter-in-loves and my son were sitting behind us and they couldn’t stop laughing.

“How did you even think to sit on it?” she said.

I shrugged. “It was instinctive. What better way to smother out a sound than to put several layers of fat over it?”

And that’s how Baby Shark came to be played at our Sunday morning service. I can’t promise live entertainment every Sunday but I can promise a great preacher who knows his Bible and doesn’t pull any punches with the truth. He also has a toddler and even though he was unaware of the Baby Shark episode I’m pretty sure had he seen it, he would have laughed.
