NEW BRAUNFELS, TX — Local six-year-old Brayden Hempstead set a new world record this week after going 2-for-10 on hand motions during a children's church choir production.
The record-smashing performance came during Forrest Frank's "Your Way's Better", with witnesses reporting that Hempstead managed to do both the heart symbol and the little wave motion for the lyrics "making waves like a jet ski."
"Do you believe in miracles?" cried the Children's Choir director Amanda Donaldson. "Congregation, you just saw history made. We are all witnesses!"
The congregation reportedly rose to its feet to give Hempstead a raucous standing ovation for his landmark achievement. "I never dreamed it was possible," said Hempstead's mother, Stacy. "I've never seen any of the boys do one of the motions correctly, ever. If they're not rolling on the ground wrestling mid-song, that's a massive accomplishment. To actually get two of the hand motions correct, it's unbelievable. I'm so proud."
At publishing time, the fellow boys in the children's choir had aggressively high-fived Hempstead in congratulations, which quickly led to an all-out wrestling brawl at the front of the church.
