driving the other day, carson was quiet (as he usually is before he's about to bust out something deep or hilarious). then he yells, all worried-like, "but i just don't get how they build bicycles! HOW do they get the metal to stick together?" enter: brief description of welding. his reply: "oh. they MELT it? wow. (pause, then HYSTERICAL laughter) good thing they don't make bikes out of PLASTIC, right, mom? hahahaha!!! that would melt so much it wouldn't even stick!!!!" yep. that would be way funny, kiddo.
another driving conversation story:
carson: "mom, can i please have a minute at family home evening? i have something really important to tell everyone. it's about a prophet named king benjamin."
me: sure, carson. that would be awesome. what do you have to say about king benjamin?
carson: "i can't tell you now, mom. it's going to be a surprise for family home evening. but it's in the book of mormon, in mosiah chapter 2. and it says, 'when you are in the service of your fellowman, you are only in the service of your God.' "
me: [speechless -- did my 5-year-old really just quote a scripture?!?!]
carson: "so, it kind of goes along with my primary talk about service. you can read about it in the book of mormon. but i'd still like to share it in family home evening."
thank you, primary teachers.

Oh I wish Carson lived right next to us. Maybe he'd rub off on my boys. ;)
(and you're thinking, PHEW.)
Oh my gosh!! I know you gave all the credit to his primary teachers, but c'mon...if that isn't a testament to the kind of kids you are raising I don't know what is?! That is so awesome!!
Bless this child. Thank Sister Conger, seriously you should tell her, it would make her day. She had the kids memorize it for sharing time. I'm seriously impressed!
