It's Like Real-Time Revelation

For family time on Tuesday we watched The Living Scripture video of David and Goliath. When the animated David on the video said he would fight Goliath he did it with the drama you would expect from the young hero. We were surprised at how much of the story that Isaac already knew. We'd like to think that he learned about it at home, but I don't remember talking about it with him and neither does Jeremiah, so someone in the Primary is doing our their job.

Anyway, yesterday morning I told Isaac that he needed to take a bath. His response was, "I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to take a bath! I want a cookie. So go make me a cookie."

Mature as I am, I responded likewise, "I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to make you a cookie!"

"How about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?" he asked.

"I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to make you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!"

We went on in this fashion through a variety of foods but when I told Isaac that I never, ever wanted to make him a Pop Tart, that was the final straw. He started breathing deeply, puffed out his chest and stood as straight and tall as he could as he declared with authority, "God told me to have a Pop Tart...and to be good."

Who am I to argue with that?
