The triplets have a reward system for obedience, chores and good deeds. Every time they do something worthy, they get a little "rock" (those small colored glass stones you see in craft stores). When they've collected enough "rocks," they can "trade them in" for prizes: usually a cool new toy or something like that.
Mom & the triplets were reading scriptures one night. If the kids pay attention & can answer a question at the end of the reading, they get a "rock."
They were reading about apostles and the question was raised: "Can anyone name an apostle? Past or present?"
After thinking about it, each of the kids replied in turn (between GALES of laughter from everyone):
Ben: "Charlie?"
(explosive laughing)
Abby: "I know, I know! Ooky-dorf!" (Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the LDS First Presidency)
(insane laughing)
Colin: "Uncle Ben?"
(volcanic laughing)
Needless to say, sides ached and love abode. And Abby got a rock.
I love being a dad.
