Possibly Our Best FHE Lesson Ever
I'll let you in on a little secret. My children are, in almost all respects, fairly civilized. They all wear clothing. Three out of four can use utensils at the dinner table. Their mouths can form the words "please" and "thank you" if they really want something, and the phrase "I'm sorry" if threatened. They sleep in beds. They will put on shoes if it is below freezing outside. But...
they cannot use a toilet properly to save their life.
After yet another bathroom flooding incident yesterday, this was our Family Home Evening lesson:
