The Hendricksen's: "Why Mom, why?"

Tuesday, April 15, 2008

"Why Mom, why?"

This is Ty's new thing to say to EVERYTHING!!! I hear this at least 100,000 times a day. And I dont even think he knows what it means.

Ill say "go pick up your toys."

"Why Mom, why? "

"Cause they are all over"

"Why mom, why?"

"Cause you made a mess with them"

"Why mom, why?"

and on and on.

Today he got the RED finger nail polish out. Why we have red finger nail polish I dont know. Im not ever going to paint my nails RED.

And painted his face with it. Along with dribbeling it on the couch and floor. I coulda beat the boy. So as Im frantically trying to get it out of the couch and floor I said,

"GO SIT ON THE STAIRS!"

He goes and sits on the stairs and I look over at him with the carpet cleaner blaring and I can see his little lips mouthing (cause I cant hear him over the cleaner) "Why mom, why?" And he does it in such a cute little innocent voice.

I know kids say "WHY" all the time but I think Ty is taking it to a new level.

Aiderz is still the silent take things apart boy. He won't ask why, he goes ahead and just finds out all by himself. There are always a few messes to clean up because of his silent wondering. OK more than a few.; 3:07 PM

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in speaking of the divinity of The Book of Mormon said: For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.” I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. I ask that my testimony of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies, given today under my own oath and office, be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven. I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
