Center of Attention

For the first time in my adult life I was asked to sing in church.... So Dan and I sang Silent Night yesterday for our church program! We did not get a lot of practice, but Dan truly has such an amazing voice that I knew we would be OK.
Well I am sure you all have someone in your church (man or woman) that has to comment about everything and be the center of attention at all times... and of course, we have a girl like this in our ward.
WELL....
Yesterday before Sacrament meeting started and everyone was getting ready to participate in the Christmas program this woman came up to Dan and I (keep in mind she was not asked to be in the program) and asked if we minded if while we sang Silent Night she could stand to the side and sign it. We said yes and did not think to much of it.
When it was our turn to get up in sing we decided not to stand at the pulpit, but by the piano (we are loud enough with out the microphone). As we stood up this girl gets up as well and goes right in front of the pulpit and THEN... she stands on top of the wooden step meant for little children that can not see over the pulpit. So not only is she the CENTER OF ATTENTION she is also 10 feet in the air (exaggeration but you get the picture).
The pianist looks at me and I whisper that she is going to "sign" for the deaf. The pianist starts to laugh and says, "No one is deaf here!"
Well it ended up helping me out because instead of everyone looking at Dan and I they were watching her sign. So it was nice to "assist" the solo signer, with our vocal cords... AND ONCE AGAIN, she was the center of attention. It worked out for everyone!
