Kids Have Minds of Their Own

Last week in church, while I was talking with Cameron, a Sunbeam, I noticed his toenails were painted bright red. I asked his mom about it and she explained that Grandma had painted them over the weekend, and then dressed him up in a pink dress. I asked Cameron if he liked dressing up and he said, "Yeah, girl clothes are prettier than boy clothes." I told his mom that he is going to be a real ladies' man when he grows up. She laughed and said, “Wait ‘til you're married and have kids of your own.”

Magical Teaching Moments

One day while teaching a 6- and 7-year-old Primary class, I noticed one little girl listening very intently. I thought she loved the story I was telling, so I tried to make it as interesting as possible. Her pretty blue eyes never left my mouth. And then the story was over. She leaned over to the little girl next to her and said, "Sister Brantley has a gold tooth!"

Snap, Crackle, Pop

While visiting our daughter and her family, my wife was at the breakfast table eating a bowl of Rice Krispies. She asked 4-year-old Sianne if she would like some Rice Krispies in her bowl. Sianne replied, “We don't eat them — we just cook them.”

The Foolish Man

This summer, we stayed with our parents at their beach house in North Carolina. After arriving back home, there was a Sharing Time lesson about the wise man and the foolish man. My 4-year old son stood up and announced that his Grandpa has a house on the sand.

The Word of Wisdom?

One day when our young son came home from Primary, he went to the refrigerator, removed the Tabasco sauce and chucked it into the garbage. When I asked him what he thought he was doing, he replied: “Today they taught us that we shouldn't use coffee, tea or Tabasco!”
