Scriptures & Jokes & Prayers

Tonight Truman landed on this verse during family scripture study:
“What mean ye? Ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor, saith the Lord God of Hosts.” 2 Nephi 13:15
Luckily he wasn’t really paying attention as he was repeating the words.
Oh Isaiah!
And I’m wondering why my boys think the way they do?

I’ve never really heard 2 year olds tell Jokes.
But Liza does.
Because she’s heard them from siblings.
“Knock, Knock”
“Who’s there?”
“Chicken went fast in the car.”
She thinks it’s the best thing ever to tell and listen to jokes.

The other night we were having family prayer.
Abe and his gas! Seriously! Those Boys!
He started laughing his head off before we’d even started.
Then Max was laughing so hard.
Then everyone was laughing so hard.
Even Liza.
Even Mother (mostly because everyone was laughing so hard)
My goodness… what is a mother to do?!
It made me remember times growing up when even my dad would get the giggles during family prayers!
(If you can imagine that!)
