Teaching from the scriptures

The other night we were reading in Jacob 2 from the Book of Mormon. It is when Jacob is telling his people that they are prideful and that they are committing grievous sins because they have more than one wife and have concubines. Well in this chapter he says abominable about 600 times. So I was trying to explain to the kids what this all meant. I told them that they were only suppose to have one husband or one wife and if they were married they were to have no girlfriends or boyfriends. Then I said, if you do then it is ABOMINABLE! So we all took turns saying "That's ABOMINABLE!" in our loudest, sternest voices.



So here is Lacey recounting what she learned.

You know when you have those experiences with your kids that you think, "I'm so glad this just happened because I will laugh about this for days"? Well, this is what happened to me. It was time for bed and Lacey got out of the fridge a yogurt. I told her "No, we aren't having yogurt now" and I put the yogurt back in the fridge. She started to cry and throw a fit and then she said to me, screaming mind you, "You're ABOMINABLE!" I couldn't help but bust up laughing. I seriously was so happy she said that because it will make me laugh and laugh for days to come. So that is what I get for teaching my kids from the scriptures. At least I know they are picking up that I am teaching them.
