Future Lawyer
So a while ago while we were reading in the scriptures, and came across a part where it talks about recording our lives in heaven. Chet and I took the opportunity to teach about repentance and tell them that if they do something wrong, it can be erased. Of course what Carson picks up on is that things are recorded from the age of accountability. He immediatley asks us what that means, and we tell him that that means when he turns 8. Since then, if I ask him if his actions made Heavenly Father happy or disappointed, he looks me right in the eye and says, "Heavenly Father doesn't care. It is not being recorded yet." It makes me want to laugh and to scream at the same time. His personality is so frustrating, and yet so funny to me too. So today I told him that in less that one week all his sins will start being recorded, and that he better start practicing being good. He says, "No. We are getting baptized on the 31st and they will all be washed away then, so I am ok until then." Too smart for his own good!!! I have a feeling he will make me laugh more than any of the boys, and also make me yell more than the other boys will. We have to be very careful of our wording with him, because he will always argue his way out of a lie by the way we worded something. Wrong is wrong, but just like a lawyer, he can make it sound any way he wants it too! Man I love that boy, I just have to figure out how to chill and keep him under control all at once. Not a task for the weak!!!
