Stake Conference

Typically, Stake Conference means we get to take a much needed church holiday, but this time we decided to go since we were getting a new Stake Presidency. Armed for two hours with no primary, I took a bag of cars and the crayons and coloring book Grace brought Aiden the last time she came. Thankfully, when we got there, Aiden decided he wanted to color instead of playing with his cars (which usually includes lots of loud fake engine sounds). He was coloring really well and staying inside the lines as he colored a picture of a little boy in front of a birthday cake. He colored the candles, the cake, the boy's t-shirt, the little dog, the party hats, and then decided he wanted to color the boy. Just as loudly as the general authority had just announced the new Stake President, Aiden announced that he was going to color the little boy's skin brown, "You know, like a famous black American." I guess he learns more at school than just letters and numbers.
