The Extra Smile

“So … what are your plans for today, Son?”

“To pretty much sit around playing video games.”

“And they say honesty is the best policy. …”

Ryan Stoker

“What would the pioneers say if they had cars?”

“’Tis better fa-ar for us to drive!”

Jon Clark

“Our son went off to college, fell in love, got married, and had twins last year. We really ought to check his blog more often.”

Randy Glasbergen

“You’re trying to save soles? We are too!”

Val Chadwick Bagley

Our stake had a service project for Pioneer Day where we shoveled pathways around a local lake. One sister noticed her children complaining about the work and asked them, “Do you think the pioneer children complained the whole time they were on the plains?”

Her six-year-old spoke up, “Oh, Mom, the pioneers didn’t have planes!”
