Jotham was giving a lesson last week on Moses and the 10 commandments (particularly "honoring thy mother" - because it had been one of those days)

As the lesson starts, Mark innocently corrects Jotham,  stating "Moses didn't free the slaves, Abe Lincoln did!"

A few minutes later, Hollie is getting in trouble because she's disappeared.  We find her clambering in the hall closet,   "Hollie, what are you doing? We are having Family Home Evening."

"Dad, I have a bad scratch on my leg and it really, REALLY, hurts, but I can't find a band-aide, so I'm getting a cough drop to make it feel better."

By  now we are nearing the end of the "not so effective" lesson, and Jotham is telling the kids I love them so much I even know how many pairs of underwear they have in their drawer and Hyrum quips "why do we call it a pair of underwear if there is only one?"  Ughhh.....

That night as I climb into bed, I couldn't help but wonder what, if anything, am I teaching my kids.
