King Noah in the house….

Tonight during family scripture “study,” Brad was going through the Book of Mormon picture book with the kids. We just open to a story and talk about the pictures and let the kids point and ask questions. At one point, Brad pointed to King Noah (the wicked king who kills Abinadi) and said “Look at King Noah….is he fat?” He is fat. He is obese.

Brylie looked at the picture, and said “yeah.” Then she said “Dad, he has a belly like you!” Brad has put on a bit of extra weight in law school eating so much good barbeque, but he is no King Noah….yet. While we tried to hold in the laughter and proceed with the scripture stories, Brylie began to stroke Brad’s beard, and we realized she had said “Dad, he has a BEARD like you.” Much better, but still a cautionary tale about eating too much Pop Walton's Barbeque.
