"The home is the first and most effective place for children to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control; the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home." -David O. McKay

Snips & Snails vs. Sugar & Spice
While discussing dinner options one afternoon Rachel asked what Ben was made of. "Maybe we could just eat him."
Me: snips & snails & puppy dog tails. That's what little boys are made of.
Rachel:(with a look of total revulsion) Nevermind-that sounds nasty!
Ben: What's Rachel made of then?
Me: Sugar & spice & everything nice. That's what little girls are made of.
Ben: (grinning wickedly) Mmmm-let's eat her for dinner then.
Hayden began shouting: No puppies, no eat puppies!
It was a very convoluted conversation. As they debated it between themselves I overheard Ben say in a naughty whisper: "you may be made of sugar & spice, but you are definately NOT nice!"
The topic ended when Rachel started crying & defending her "niceness".
Hayden eyed dinner that night and asked "puppy?"
