Remember yesterday when I mentioned that we tend to get a leeetle bit off track during scripture study time?
We had just read this scripture:
18 Lift up thine eyes round about and behold; all these gather themselves together, and they shall come to thee. And as I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on even as a bride. [1 Nephi 21:18, but quoting Isaiah 49]
Nathaniel: Is this scripture telling us to tie up our wives?
Todd: What?
Caleb: Hey, Dad, I guess you need to tie up Mom.
Todd to me: What is he talking about?
Me: Binding up brides, naturally.
Todd: Um, Ok.
Me: Ha. Good luck.
Benjamin: That's true. If Mom doesn't want to be tied up, there's no way Dad would be able to do it.
Nathaniel: Mom would beat you up if you tried, Dad.
Caleb: Yeah. Mom would win.
Todd: [who thought he was being too quiet for the kids to hear, waggles his eyebrows at me] Well, I didn't know you were into that sort of thing.
Me: [Smirking at him with one eyebrow raised] You don't know everything about my past.
Benjamin: [The one sitting furthest from us, but the only one who heard] Ahh! [Looking completely horrified! Eyes bulging wide open, face frowning, and then curling himself into a ball on the couch to whimper.] Don't want to know! Don't even want to think about it! Aahhahahaha! Scarred for life. Life, I tell you!
Todd: Oh, stop. We're your parents. We have sex. Get over it.
Benjamin: Ahhhh! Make it stop!!!
Nathaniel: And THEN you can use the tied up brides as Christmas trees; you know, with all the ornaments you hang on them after you bind them up.
Me: PLEASE, stop talking, Nathaniel.
Todd: [snapping the scriptures closed and sighing peevishly] I guess we're done with scriptures for tonight. I don't know why I even bother some nights. [looking at all of us who are giggling and snorting]
And again we must say, Poor Todd.
