Stating the Not So Obvious

It is family night.

Thanks to a recent tragedy in the family of a friend, we are reviewing "safety" with our bodies - trying to instill safety precautions without freaking anyone out. Is that possible?! There is a lot of interesting discussion about our "private parts" from the 11 year old who gets what is going on, down to the two year old who is giggling and rolling around on the floor. Sophia who is four keeps saying, "Let's not talk about this!"

And Kate (6 yrs) is apprehensively asking questions like, "What do you if a baby touches your privates?!"


Kate is becoming more and more wound up even though we have assured her she doesn't need to worry about it if a baby accidentally touches her privates.


Finally she blurts out, "WHY DO WE EVEN NEED OUR PRIVATES ANYWAY??!!"


That's a quick way to wrap up family home evening discussion.

A Conversation with Sophia

Out of the blue.......

Sophia: "Mom?"

Mom: "What Sophia?"

Sophia: "How come Jesus had the last supper?"

Mom: "Wellll....... before He died, He had his apostles together where they ate, He did service for them, and they got the gift of the Holy Ghost."

Sophia: "Mom, were we there when Jesus died?"

Mom: "Wellll.... maybe we were there, but it was before we came to earth, so we didn't have our bodies yet."

Sophia: "YOU MEAN WE WERE JUST HEADS????!!!"

I guess it is time for the "hand in the glove demonstration."
