scenario this morning:

me: putting scriptures away after morning family study.

michelle: sitting looking sad on the couch watching t.v.

me: what's wrong?

michelle: i wish dora could come and visit. and boots. and her parents. and maybe bennie and eza too. why can't they?

me: that would be nice wouldn't it? but they live REALLY far away.

michelle: oh, that would've been fun (still looking really sad).

i love children's thoughts.
