Editorial Spotlight

For the Welfare of Your Soul from Fall 2006

“But . . . but . . . I . . . want to show you something,” Katie says quietly. I have embarrassed her. She shows me a miniature Book of Mormon. Perfect for an eight-year-old to love. I finger the pages and listen to her tell me how her inactive grandmother found it when they were starting to paint. Katie asked if she could have it, and her grandmother obliged. The first person she wanted to tell about her new book was me, and I had yelled at her before she could show me.

    Mom and 5 year old ~S at Costco…

    Mom: “Alrighty, I think we’re about done here. Anything else you think we might need, kiddo?”

    ~S: “Well, just a map, I guess.”

    Mom: “A map of what? Why do we need a map?”

    ~S: “Aren’t we leaving soon? Don’t we need a map?”

    Mom: “Umm, where are we going?”

    ~S: “I thought we were leaving for Africa tomorrow. You know, for the safari.”
