Somehow I seen my boys in this little story. I love them!
The congregation sat in silence as the fast and testimony meeting hit a lull. Jeff checked the clock---twenty more minutes until the meeting ended. He couldn't help but notice Tom nodding off next to him.
A mischievous idea popped into Jeff's head. He leaned over, nudged Tom, and whispered n a hushed tone, "Tom, wake up. The bishop just called on you to give the closing prayer.
Alarmed, Tom glanced up at the bishop, who gave him a smile. Tom stood up and rushed to the pulpit. The congregation eagerly awaited Tom's testimony as he folded his arms, closed his eyes, and proceeded to say the closing prayer. At the conclusion, Tom turned, shook the stunned bishop's hand, and exited the pulpit.
People still refer to that meeting as the one that got out on time. (Mormon Mishaps and Mischief,p. 82)
