Validation

After General Conference today, I asked Frank what his favorite moment during the conference was.  He said, "Will's talk."  Somebody (I think it was Elder Maynes) read a primary talk that his grandson, Will, had given.  In his talk, Will said that all the people in a family, even the children, have to help make their family strong by working hard and having a good attitude.  This is, practically word for word, a concept that I teach my children often - pretty much every time they're less than thrilled that we're folding laundry, pulling weeds, or unloading the dishwasher.  So I asked Frank what he'd learned from it, and he said with a sheepish smile, "That it's actually true."  Guess he had to hear it from someone other than mom to believe it.
