Playing Penguins

Matt and I were making our breaded garlic lemon chicken and butternut squash ginger coconut cream soup (new recipes) tonight while the kids were goofing around downstairs. I heard far too many giggles down there, so I went to check out what was going on. This is what I found:


They were "playing penguins", they said. Matt told them that penguins wore suits, they never went naked. Lincoln begged to differ. There is a lot of nudity at our house. The scripture found in Mosiah chapter 4 verse 14 comes to mind frequently. It says:

14 And ye will not suffer your achildren that they go hungry, or naked; neither will ye bsuffer that they transgress the laws of God, and fight and cquarrel one with another, and serve the devil, who is the master of sin, or who is the devil spirit which hath been spoken of by our fathers, he being an enemy to all righteousness.
My kids go naked a lot. Not cause they don't have clothes, but because they prefer not to wear them. Bennett takes his pants off all the time because he likes a different pair of underwear better, but mostly because he likes to be "nakies". I get tired of trying to keep them clothed, and I get tired of breaking up fights, so sometimes, I just let them go at it, and serve the master of sin. I try... really I do. If you get to heaven, you'll have to let me know what it's like cause I just might not make it there.

  1. It seems like those two have always hated wearing clothes. I think you may have some nudists on your hands. And how funny that they said they were playing penguins! Where do they get this stuff?
