Only 3 years old and my daughter is hitting on missionaries...not like you think though

So funny thing happened yesterday at church: my 3-year old daughter hit one of the missionaries in the junk. We were walking by in the hallway after church heading to the car. I was holding my son and my sweet daughter was walking slightly behind me with my wife. As I'm passing the Elder I hit him on his arm with the papers I have in my hand as a way of saying bye. We're cool like that.

Well, my daughter saw me hit the Elder so she wanted to do it too. She's a good deal smaller than me though since she's only 3 so she hit him the best she could at her level. Unfortunately for the missionary, she was right on level with his crotch. Silver lining is that is was just a tap and more awkward for the Elder rather than painful. He's good natured though and we all had a good laugh at it.

More Truth Bombs, this time from Elder Boyd K. Packer

I came across the other day while studying the Sunday School lesson and like what was said:

Elder Boyd K. Packer said that we should be reverent in the chapel so we do not intrude “when someone is struggling to feel delicate spiritual communications.” He also cautioned that reverence “does not equate with absolute silence. We must be tolerant of little babies, even an occasional outburst from a toddler being ushered out” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1991, 28; or Ensign, Nov. 1991, 22).

 My favorite part of this is the highlighted portion at the end: "being ushered out." It's a nice way of saying we will be tolerate of babies/toddlers making noise...especially as you take them out when they reach that one point. Don't be those parents who keep their kids in the meeting because you don't want to miss anything or you think its teaching them an important lesson. Its not, you just making everyone else have a headache and not feel the Spirit. Look again at the beginning of the quote.

I also like how he said "toddler" and "little babies" but not "children." He's implying that you need to have them in check by a certain age. Teach them to be reverent because at a certain point that noisy hullabaloo* is not cool.

*How awesome is this word? It just came to me out nowhere as I was typing and I never use that word. 10 points to me though for how awesome it is and using it.
