hmm

Once I was explaining to then 8 year old Matthew the importance of work.

He was having an off day and was not much interested in being helpful.

“Work,” I said, “ is one of God’s great gifts.”

I was sure that was a good line. It sounded good at the time.

“Grandpa, work came after the fall, it is the result of Sin.”

What could I say? I did wait until he was out of sight before I doubled up with laughter.

At 11 he is no less sharp, but he is more helpful.
