I'm Failing....
Well, I had a conversation with Garrett in the car today and I've decided that I'm completely failing...We got the new Friend in the mail and he was looking at it as we were going to pick up the kids from school. There is a picture of the temple on the front cover. Our conversation went something like this:
Garrett: Hey mom...I think this temple is the one at Grandma's house.
Jill: Why Garrett?
Garrett: Well, It has that "golden guy" on the top.
Jill: You mean the Angel Moroni?
Garrett: Ya mom...What is that thing in his hand?
Jill: It's a trumpet Garrett.
Garrett: Ahh..So he played that during the War?
Jill: What war?
Garrett: The war when Jesus died.
Well...we talked about the "war when Jesus died" - (I have no clue where that one came from) and on and on from there...nice isn't it?
Then came the second realization of failure...Some background..I believe that our conversation started with all of the talk of the trumpet. Our Bishop plays the trumpet and is extremely talented! Here are the two sentences that made me sink a little lower in my seat:
Garrett: Mom, you know that "Missionary Guy" who has candy in is office?
Jill: Um Garrett..you mean the Bishop?
Garrett: Ya Mom...He plays the trumpet good doesn't he?
That's it in a nutshell! I'm not doing so hot! I think I'll move to Australia!
