Funny little moment as we were watching General Conference this morning: Sister Anne C. Pingree, second counselor in the Relief Society general presidency, recounted the story of Nephi’s obedience when called upon to build a ship: “Whither shall I go that I may find ore to molten, that I may make tools…?”
I said to my family, “I’m glad the Lord asked Nephi and not me to build a ship. I probably would have said [in a high-pitched whiny girly voice]: ‘A SHIP? I DON’T KNOW HOW TO BUILD A SHIIIIP!’”
Bella: “Well, Mommy, Nephi was a man, so he probably wouldn’t whine like that.”
Me: “Oh, I don’t know. I’ve known some pretty whiny men.”
Hubby, in a high-pitched whiny girly voice: “WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?”
