Pants-on-the-ground: A Chaela Story

A funny thing happened a week or two ago when our home teachers came for their monthly visit (home teachers are just guys who go to our church who are assigned to check in with our family once a month, visit, make sure we're doing good, etc.). 

We were sitting there, talking (as Mormons do... a lot) when Chaela ran in with one of her dolls, a Cabbage Patch knock-off in a purple outfit.

"Is this your doll?" Ben, one of our home teachers, asked.
"Yeah!" Chaela screaked (a scream/squeak, I just now invented the word).
"What's her name?"
"PANTS-ON-THE-GROUND!"
All the adults in the room looked at each other.
"Pants on the ground?"
"YEAH!" Chaela screaked again, then started to sing, "Pants on the ground, pants on the ground!  You look like a fool with your pants on the ground!"

That doll is still called Pants-on-the-ground.  It's the first thing she's ever named.

That really happened.  The end.
