I remember mine..... "Jesus Wept"!
My youngest son, 8, does not have one this year; we missed all of the rehearsal opportunities due to other commitments. We hope to get him back into the Easter Program next year.

We had Easter AND Christmas speeches. We also had the plays, and I was in ALL of them, thanks to my older sister and my mom! I guess that's what I got for not being afraid to talk before large groups of people at a very young age. As I got older, the speeches got longer...some of them as long as 10 stanzas! I put a stop that when I forgot one of my stanzas at around age 12! My sister designated herself as my speech selector.
I told my mom she'd have to whoop my butt, but I wasn't doing anymore speeches.

I said this one but it was by mistake. Right before I went up there, my aunt whispered to me, "you ought to say, "What you lookin at me so hard for? All I came to say was Happy Easter Day.""
Well, when I got up there, I forgot my speech....so of couse I was standing there looking lost and everyone was staring at me... so I just broke out and said, "what ya'll looking at me so hard for...." It was funny becasue it looked like I planned it. It appears my aunt gave me the ghetto version though...LOL
In short, TP scored again.

Can't remember nary one of them. The ONLY thing I can recall is that I was always the last one to go (the longest speeches always went last). I wasn't shy to speak in front of large crowds of <b>adults</b>; but I was shy as heck around others in my age group.

The church I grew up in and attend has graduated. No more Easter or Xmas speeches.

I can recall having stage fright as I forgot my Easter speech when I was about 8 years old. :uhoh: I remember saying..."I love Jesus and the Easter Bunny" just to say something since I stood there for probably 3 minutes with my finger in my mouth shame. :shh:
When we got to the back, I cried for days because all I received was a NASTY creme filled egg for effort of doing a speech. :bawling: Kids that actually recited their speeches received Easter baskets. I was crying for the longest until I got home after church and Big Mama had our Easter baskets lined up on the couch for us.
