Because I Said So - That's Why!

Just a little background info for those who are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (aka Mormon).  In our church we have a prophet to lead the church.  The recent prophets have all gone by their first name, middle initial and last name or by President and their last name.  For example, our current prophet is Thomas S. Monson.  He is sometimes called President Monson.  The prophet before Thomas S. Monson was Gordon B. Hinckley, and before him it was Howard W. Hunter.   I hope this will help this little story makes sense for you.

Jeff was tucking Tyler into bed the other night & Tyler told Jeff, "When I grow up I want to be the prophet.  That way everyone will call me Tyler J. Cosme."  Jeff got a good little laugh about this comment & then he explained to Tyler that he shouldn't plan to become the prophet, but that he should concentrate on being a good boy and obeying the commandments and if he wants to be called Tyler J. Cosme, he doesn't have to be the prophet.  Tyler is such a funny little boy.

Here's the most recent conversation from my house.

Claire: Mommy, I went pee-pee in my bed.
Jeff: Colleen, did you hear what she just said?
Me: Huh?  What did you just say Claire?
Claire:  I went pee-pee in my bed.
Me: You did?
Tyler: What a great Mother's Day present!
Claire: It is not a Mother's Day present.!?! I went pee-pee in my bed.

I guess Claire missed the sarcasm of Tyler's comment!  Too funny!  Even the "joys" of being a mother, like cleaning up a little girl who had an "accident," don't disappear on Mother's Day!  It's just a reminder of how fun it is to be a Mom!  I love my kids!  They're the cutest, funniest, smartest, most fun, and mischievous kids I know.  They bring adventure to my life every single day!  Happy Mother's Day everyone!
