A born speaker


Last Sunday Asher gave his first primary talk. It went something like this...

Asher: In the scriptures...I don't want to do this.

Me (whispering in his ear): Heavenly Father blesses righteous families.

Asher: I don't want to do this.

Once Asher has made up his mind, there is no changing it.

I proceeded to give my three year old's talk, speaking slowly so that at any point he could pipe right in-no such luck.

He did make a smashing come back at the end though.

Me: "In the name of...(I was interrupted at this point)"

Asher: (saying loudly in the microphone) FINE, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

I wonder if that counts as my talk for the year?

Although it is very painful to admit, it really does amaze me how much Asher is just like his dad.
