Confirmation Blues

Sigh. I taught confirmation tonight. I have 2 12 year old girls in the class, and I really do enjoy having them in class. But, like most 12 year old girls, attention spans aren't exactly their strong suit. I'm fairly certain they don't hear anything I say, and I know they don't retain any of it. Tonight seemed to be particularly bad, and it didn't help that one of their grandmothers sat at the table with us for the first 15 minutes or so and kept interrupting to basically infer that I was doing it wrong. Again, I say sigh. It's another sleep-over tonight, though, so maybe some niece snuggles will help.
