Joseph asks Daddy early Saturday morning, “You are not Santa, are you Daddy? You are just playing pretend, huh Daddy?” My response had something to do with how Mommy and Daddy are like Santa’s little helpers in getting the house prepared for Christmas.
While reading the scriptures stories (condensed picture version) about the story of Jacob and Sherem in the Book of Mormon, I mentioned that there are ‘Bad Guys’ who are against the work of our Heavenly Father and who sometimes try to hurt or kill the prophets. Joseph’s reply was that when he gets big he will shoot any bad guys with a shotgun and stop them from ever entering our house or hurting us. This made me a bit alarmed but then I remember our trip to Four Peaks in AZ and how we shot guns in the desert and drove quads and I remembered mentioning to him that guns are very dangerous and should only be used by adults.
Joseph has been figuring out that he and Derek were in mommy’s tummy when they were babies and mommy was in Grandma’s tummy, Daddy was in Grammy’s tummy, Grammy was in Grandma Nichol’s tummy…. Then he figures out that boys can’t have babies in their tummies, only girls. Now here’s the one that surprised me out of the blue! He says when I came out of Mommy’s tummy it was my birthday! Yep, and I needed to eat a birthday cake. When Derek came out it was his birthday too and he needed to eat cake! Now how did he figure that out?
