The Emster

This year in Primary (the children's program at Church) the kids are learning about a latter-day prophet each month. If they memorize the quote, they earn a coupon for a scoop of ice cream at the Halloween party. This month's prophet is Joseph Smith, Jr. and the quote is "Teach them correct principles and they govern themselves." Emma already has this memorized and is quite proud of herself. She repeats it to herself or to mommy or daddy at random. She can't say the word correct, though. The quote ends up sounding like this:

"Teach dem directa prinstiples and dey govern demselves."
