So the other day I was in the kitchen, and I was listening to my two youngest sons who were in our family room playing Star Wars Lego video game. They were playing together well, but kept changing their characters on the screen. Finally Jack came up with what he thought was an excellent idea, and here is where the lesson begins. He said to Ben- "Ben, you be Yoda, I be Joseph Smith!
I laughed my head off at this, but afterwards I began to explore what might have prompted his three year old mind to interpret these two figures to be entertwined. Could it possibly be that they were two good guys? They both had experience in battling the dark side? They both knew how to use the "Force"?
I still don't know, but I did learn one thing. Children are much more aware of their surroundings than we give them credit for. So I say hooray for knowing good from evil, and may the force be with you all!

Well, considering that they FOR SURE patterned Yoda after President Kimball, I think the Joseph Smith connection is the next logical step.
I think it's a great commentary, though, on what really goes on in your home - at least they weren't screaming and swearing at each other!
We don't scream and swear. We put on boxing gloves and go a round or two...
