they do listen....

(or.... a Bryan's FHE follow up)

I had a "hey, kids really do sometimes listen during family home evening" moment today.

We had dropped Bryan off at Kindergarten and were out running some errands when out of the blue,
 Caleb said to me, "mom, rocks can be bad AND good."

Oh Yeah?  (trying not to laugh)

"yep,  they are bad if you throw them at people, but you can build walls and good stuff with them too, so they are bad AND good."

nice to know that he heard something, kinda wish it had been the part about "quickly obeying when mom asks you to do something," or the "be reverent during family scripture study" part, or the "don't fight with your brother."

but hey... something is better than nothing, right???

Love it! Wish my kids had internalized my "good, better, best" lesson so well!

When I was growing up, Family Home Evening was a fight (usually between my sister and dad) that began and ended with prayer!

So yeah - enjoy the rock analogy! You never know, that might just be the lesson that saves him from pitching one through someones window some day - or helps him make some other good decision.
