A Child's Mind and Pet Flies

Today Daniel asked me what his friend's dad does for work. I told him he's a news anchor on TV. He asked, "So does he just make himself small and climb into the TV every day?"

We have a new home teacher who is really fabulous for our kids. He really gears the gospel message towards the children and took the time to get to know them and all of their interests on his first visit. When he asked Jacob his name, Jacob said, "Guess." Brother Hale said "Is it George?" Jacob nodded his head with a mischievous smile, so now Jacob is "George Jacob" to Brother Hale & Brother Edwards. There was a fly in the room during his last visit and Brother Hale made a comment about a boy he knew who actually caught a fly and tied a string to it and watched it fly around like a kite on a string. So ever since then Jacob has tried to catch his own pet fly. He's actually caught 2 with his bare hands, but unfortunately by the time he manages to get the string on it, its wings are too damaged to fly. He tried it with a grasshopper too. We don't need pest control - we have Jacob!
