Our lesson from the Grinch

Isaac and Dallin were looking at the cover of the The Grinch movie.

Isaac read: "How The Grinch saved Christmas"

Dallin: "No, How the Grinch stole Christmas"

Isaac: "No, saved!"

Mom: Dallin is right it's "How the Grinch stole Christmas"

Isaac looked puzzled.

Mom: Remember how he tried to steal Christmas by taking all their presents and food away. But Christmas came anyway, because they knew the real meaning of Christmas. They didn't need presents to be happy.

Silence

Dallin: Well I do!

Isaac: Ya, me too! Mom, is the Grinch real?

Mom: No, it's just a movie to help us remember what Christmas is all about.

And the moral of the story is....

Isaac: "Dallin, thank goodness, there's no such thing as a Grinch!"

You can't say I don't try! :)
