The Scriptures According to Emma

As we already know, this sweet little thing has her own unique way of doing everything, and Sunday night, we realized she also has her own unique perspective on the scriptures.  Before I continue, I should explain that it is a Maseda habit of ours to go on long drives as a family; often these drives take place on Sundays.  Between work and church, Rich is fairly busy these days, so our drives usually give us time to talk and catch up.  These drives typically also give us some quiet time; the cuties usually play and talk to each other, and Rich and I try to squeeze in as much reconnect time as we can before the van pulls back into the driveway.  This past Sunday however, was quite different; each child decided it was time to tell scripture stories, with Braden going first.  Braden honored us with a wonderful and accurate rendition of the Tower of Babel, following which Brooke made a selection from the Book of Mormon choosing to share with us the faith building story of Nephi and the Brass Plates.  Of course, considering Braden and Brooke have started a little competition lately amongst themselves trying to one up each other (yeah, not loving that, trying to nip it in the bud), Braden had to then share with us the story of Noah and the Ark.  By this point, this little bundle of vivaciousness could hold it in no longer!

Emma began to scream, 

"Be quiet! It's my turn to tell a story!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At this point, of course, Emma had our rapt attention; realizing that we were waiting with baited breath, she began.

"They built a big tower upon the sand, so the rains came and washed it away. So, they built a big boat instead."

Well, there you have it folks, the scriptures according to Emma; it's not very doctrinally sound, but it sure is entertaining!
