Sneezes

Some background info for the following conversation. Kelsey's lesson in nursery was on our bodies looking like Heavenly Father so we have decided to have our family home evening lessons to reitterate her lesson for the previous Sunday. Monday afternoon I had a sneezing attack and the rest is history.

K: Mom, why did you sneeze so many times?

M: Because I breathed in something that tickled my nose and made me sneeze.

K: Why?

M: Because it was dusty and we breathe air in our noses and dust was in the air and it went in my nose and made me sneeze.

K: Why?

M: Because Heavenly Father created our bodies to keep bad stuff out of it so we can keep our bodies clean.

K: How did he make us?

M: He made us look like him.

K: How did he? Out of what?

M: He created us from stuff in the air and made our bodies

K: But how did he make us?

M: Maybe we'll ask dad this question to see if he can tell you something different.

K: Ok.

So we put the conversation on hold to wait till after dinner. When Dave entered the conversation she was perfectly fine with his answers of "stuff in the air" and so we talked more of the creation and the things that he created.

HAHAHA! Why is the exact same answer not okay from Mom, but perfectly okay from Dad?? It happens to us too! Too funny!

Um... I learned a long time ago not to default to "Go ask your dad." It seemed that Dad's answer opens up a whole new can of worms! Dave handled it perfectly by going along with 'mom'. :)
