Yesterday Ammon had his 6 year old cousin Brandon over for a little while. They were playing in the front yard when Brandon noticed a stake sticking up out of the ground. He asked if he could pull it out, and Ammon said "no, it's for our prop 102 sign. Someone stole the poster that was attached to it!" Brandon asked what the sign was for. This is where my sweet little boy explained in detail to his cousin how we don't think boys should marry boys and girls should marry girls. He told him that Heavenly Father didn't want it that way and now we have to vote to make sure they don't make it a law. I couldn't decide if I was proud of him for his simple yet accurate description, or sad that a little boy lived in a world where he knew about these things.

Already living up to his namesake! Way to go Ammon. I wish the children didn't have to be exposed to all of this!
ReplyDeleteIt is a sad thing that we have to teach our kids these things. WAy to go explaining it Ammon! The signs are disappearing like crazy, my friend has had hers ripped up 3 times and thrown in her yard, she has 15 more so she just laughs and says "bring it on!" Satan sure is trying hard isn't he!
