Tonight we were reading the Book of Mormon stories (the ones with pictures). The story we read was about Captain Moroni & the Nephites fighting the Lamanites....the Lamanites wanted to make the Nephites their slaves. As Edwin was reading it, I stopped him and asked Emma if she knew what a slave was....to which she responded "Oh yeah it's for when we go to the snow"
After we stopped laughing and wiping our eyes, we explained that it's a "sleigh" we use in the snow and a "slave" is someones servant unwillingly.
Ah, it was too funny.
I wonder what she was thinking before we explained it.....I guess they had sleighs back then?
I need to write a book.

That's so funny!!! Just think....if you hadn't explained what a slave was, she'd go to school misunderstanding. Even a few of these kids get words mixed up....and they're a lot older!
