FHE Backfire

Will is playing on the ground. Enter Carter [stage left]. Carter takes a toy away from Will.

Mom: Carter that wasn't very nice. You are acting like a mean brother.
Carter: I'm LAMAN!!!!!
Mom: No, we don't want to be like Laman.
Carter: I'm LEMUEL!!!!!!!
Mom: No, Carter. We want to be nice like Nephi.
Carter: Oh, I'm Nephi!
Mom: Good grief...
Carter: GOOD GRIEF, WILL!!!


Exit Mom [stage right] to find a piece of chocolate so she can adequately deal with the day.

okay, THAT was funny. and i particularly liked how you dealt with it by chocolate. maybe that's where they get "death by chocolate", because moms have to eat it so much.... can't wait.

Becca, it was good to hear from you! Isn't blogging the greatest thing ever? It's so fun to hear from old friends. Your family is so cute. Two boys! We're doing the 2 girl thing. Can't really relate, I guess. We do a lot of crying and whining at our house, but less roughhousing. Your blog made me laugh. Penny (Riley) Allen
