In our house we have a rule- no eating outside of the kitchen. Out of all of our rules this is the one that is broken the very most...so much that sometimes I wonder why we even have it, but we do. And as with most rules there are exceptions, like when we have movie party or if you are given special permission. But even special permission privileges can be revoked if your dishes don't make it back to the kitchen. Which they almost never do.
So after a long string of suspending privileges I was skeptical when Dallin asked for special permission to take a piece of his birthday pumpkin pie upstairs to watch Ben reach a new level on some video game. I reminded him of the rules and as I handed him the pie I added this little phrase for good measure,
"Now I'm trusting you."
He looked at me and said,
"Don't worry, Mom. I'm trust-a-ful."
And it's a good thing that he's so
trust-a-ful because he was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church yesterday by his dad.
Congratulations Dallin! Mom and Dad love you and are so proud that you are such a trust-a-ful guy.
We wouldn't want you any other way.
