Miriam on Gypsies and Lady Harriet Goes to her first Temple Recommend Interview

Today the kids watched a movie that contained a segment with gypsies.  They know nothing about gypsies.  I overheard the following conversation:

Cowen: "Gypsies look a lot like pirates."

Miriam, in her very best know-it-all voice: "Yes, gypsies are just like pirates except they are happy all the time."

I learn new things all the time.

A week or so ago Timothy took the older kids to a charter school function so I could get my temple recommend renewed.  I took Eli and Harriet with me and sat them in a chair by mine.  For those unfamiliar with a temple recommend interview, there are about 14 questions--most requiring a simple "yes" answer.

The counselor asked the first few questions, which I responded to with the standard, "Yes."

Harriet caught on to this very quickly and after the first three questions anytime the counselor paused Harriet would pipe up with a sweet little, "Yes."  She was so serious and so adorable.  Clearly ready for temple attendance already!
