Last night we were reading out of the the Book of Mormon Reader about the story of the brother of Jared. It was talking about how the Lord told the brother of Jared to come up with a way to light the barges.
"The brother of Jared told the Lord that the barges were dark inside. The Lord asked him to think of a way to have light inside the barges. The light for the barges could not come from fire or from windows because they would break."
I asked Miriam why they couldn't use fire in the barges. Doug whispered that it would suck out the oxygen, but I was thinking in terms of the fire burning the wood that the barges were made of. Miriam sat and thought about if for a minute so I asked her what the barges were made of. Her answer?
"Bricks"

Bricks, eh? How did the rest of the story go after that one?
She is so funny! And probably the cutest little girl ever! How did you explain the brick boats to her? I'd probably be cracking up.
That is funny!! Kids are so great a giving you a good laugh!
What a cute story! She is so smart, bricks are quite safe for building fires in!
