Jeff was teasing Pearl during dinner tonight - big surprise - and asked her the following questions.
Jeff: "Pearl, which is more... three weeks or 21 days?"
Pearl: "Three weeks."
(Insert snicker by Jeff)
Jeff: "Pearl, which weighs more... a pound of rocks or a pound of grapes?"
(Insert thinking by Pearl)
Pearl: "Two pounds of grapes."
(Insert shocked expression by Jeff and giggles by me)
Jeff: "You're right Pearl. Two pounds of grapes is more than one pound of rocks or grapes."
Guess who's doing the teasing at our house now?

Something's stuck
It's only taken 79 pages to finally sink in.
Scripture study is here to stay.
Even on those days when Mom and Dad are the ones counting down the verses until we're done. Like two days ago when I stopped reading in the middle of my verse and told Jeff the Spirit was gone and I was done. I probably should have kept reading until the Spirit came back, oh well.
But we keep persevering through tantrums, impromptu laughter, farts (I won't mention which family members are guilty of those disruptions), and toy throwing. And tonight it finally hit me that maybe, just maybe it's paying off.
Pearl told us during bath time that her favorite scripture was when Nephi went to the beach (which she later told me was Bear Lake). With his mean brothers who wouldn't play ball with him. And the three women who get their heads cut off. Oh and she also likes Joseph and a new scripture character - who apparently only exists in her copy of the Book of Mormon - Curly. Curly's a girl by-the-way.
Hey, I'm just glad she was BEGGING us to read scriptures tonight. Even if it might have been just a trick to stay up longer.
