When I was a very little girl (3 ish) my mom was helping me say my prayers one night and she said thank you for our health and strength. I paused for a few moments and tried to process what that meant and then quickly repsonded oh yeah, thank you for our house and street! It is always funny to hear little children's perceptions of what we grown ups are saying.... or singing in Addi's case! A few weeks ago I received a phone call from our babysitter's mother who asked me if I had heard Addi sing "I Love to See the Temple" . I replied that she sings it around the house constantly. She laughed and said no have you heard how she sings the last verse??? Here is Addi's version:
I love to see the Temple, I'm going there someday
To feel the Holy Spirit, to listen and to pray
The Temple is a house of God, a place of love and beauty
I'll prepare myself while I am young, to shake my bootie! (this is my sacred duty)
Gotta love that girl!!
When we went to the temple open house in June she wanted to know why "all you guys coming to my temple"? As soon as we entered the tents outside the temple she wanted to know where the Holy Ghost was! I replied that we don't see him and instead we will feel his presence in our hearts and minds, to which she quickly replied, " I thought this was Jesus' house, the Holy Ghost should be here, I bet he's over there (pointing to a little tunneled off area)!
This morning she asked me to sit by her on her barstool while she was eating her breakfast, before I could even respond she replied "Oh yeah, you can't cause you have a big, big, big, big, big, big, big, bum!"
You gotta love the honesty of a child :)!!
