Tonight we read about Joseph Smith in Boston's illustrated Book of Mormon. When I tucked him into bed he asked me if he could tell me a story. I never say no to a story!
The Joseph Smith
Story
Told by Boston Hartshorn
August 31, 2012
One day Joseph Smith went into the forest. He said a prayer
and darkness came. And then he
couldn’t kneel anymore because of the darkness. Then Heavenly Father and Jesus
came and told him that all of the churches were bad. The 2 churches were bad, Mom! But in Texas there are lots of good churches. So then they gave Joseph
Smith the Book of Mormon and they gave it to him at night. And people get lots
of things at night. Santa Claus comes
and he gives everyone toys! He gave me a dinosaur train toy remember Mom?! And
Heavenly Father gives people lots of stuff. He gives them houses, and
bathrooms, and potty, and toilets to go potty on, and toilet paper, and
flushers on the toilets so that people can flush. And dinosaurs! They lived a
long time ago when there weren’t people. But how did the people get into the
book with the dinosaurs Mom?! People didn’t live with dinosaurs! And then
Joseph Smith went into the woods and there was something green in there. And it
has legs….and a tail! And his name was Sammy! Ha…silly Sammy. And Joseph didn’t
make good choices and listen to his Daddy but when he growed up he did. And he
had a big owie on his leg and the Dr cut the big owie off his leg and cut it
into pieces, and they cooked it! And then he lived forever.
THE END
Oh how I wish I had gotten it on video or at least an audio file!! I ran downstairs and wrote it down before I could forget it.
I love Boston's stories almost as much as I love his prayers. He says the funniest things in prayers! The other night he said "Please bless that the dinosaurs will stay bones so that they won't eat us." Rob and I were shaking we were laughing so hard. And then a few weeks ago Boston was refusing to say his bedtime prayer. So Rob started counting 1.....2..... . Before Rob could say 3 (time out comes after 3) Boston started his prayer and said, "Our dear Heavenly Father, I'm grateful for this day. I'm grateful that Daddy only got to #2.."
