I feel sorry for the kids because SMs are so boring. Devout Mormons admit here that maybe two SMs per year are not deadly boring and/or just plain bad. And they wonder why the kids get antsy. Parents have PDA's for checking baseball scores or reading War and Peace or the Iliad. The poor kids; they're smarter than we think.
Now if there were soaring gothic architecture, gory statuary, lovely classical music, exotic Latin incantations, insence, or, alternatively, a drum set and electric guitars and gospel rock and professional firebrand clergy prancing around with a cordless mike, the kids (and the adults) wouldn't be get so bored. I've even seen sexual innuendo that amuses. A while back I went to a cello recital for kids at an evangelical church and there was a large stained glass window behind the podium and the drum set, etc., with a rendition of Christ in the clouds, and below his feet the phrase, "I come quickly." (This passage lends credence to the steamy Mary M. theories, doesn't it.)
