My darling Raegan loves to write letters. Our neighbors are frequently getting surprise mail from her in their mailboxes. She also is insistent on writing mail for any family members we go to visit. On this particular day she was writing letters for Grandma and Grandpa. This is Grandpas letter, little did I know that I needed to be prepared to give a Word of Wisdom lesson at the time.I have no idea where she got this. Raegan has Never been around smoking, and I honestly Never have anything besides Disney and Nickelodeon on at my house when shes awake, so where this came from I'm clueless.
This was our conversation as Raegan is explaining her picture to me:
Raegan: "Grandma shares her smokes with him, see, he's so Happy!" (no, her grandma doesn't smoke.)
Me: "Raegan smoking is bad, it doesn't make us happy............"
Raegan: "No, see he's happy, he likes it! He doesn't think it's hot! Say it mom, smmoooke."
Me: " Raegan, smoking is so bad, it's bad for our bodies, it's not healthy. Heavenly Father doesn't want us to smoke....."
Raegan: "But the little boy smiled. It's not bad. He likes it, it has a little cheese in it. Until you say yay smokes I'm not going to kiss you. Don't laugh!"
Me: " Smoking is very bad.............. you can have crackers with cheese, crackers are good for us! But smoking is not good for us"
Raegan "Okay! I can draw a cracker!"
I'm still not sure what to think about this conversation and where she learned about smoking! What is Super Why, Dora, and Max and Ruby teaching our children! Because I know it didn't come from me!
