With Paige always worried that Heavenly Father is trying to steal her stuff, it's a bit tough to get her excited about having Family Home Evening.
This is the conversation I had with her last Monday night after dinner.
PAIGE: Dad, what does canceled mean?
ME: It's when something doesn't happen. Like when your dance class got canceled because your teacher was sick.
PAIGE: So, like, when someone has a cold something might be canceled?
ME: Yeah.
Then here's what happened after we all sat down for family night. And by all, I mean our family, plus all of Paige's Tinkerbell dolls and Curtis' monster trucks.
PAIGE: Wait, wait, wait. I forgot something. We can't start family night yet.
[She comes back with her toy microphone.]
PAIGE: [Into her microphone] I have an announcement. Tinkerbell is sick. [Pause for emphasis] So family night is CANCELED!
What an awful little genius.
