The moral of the story

Last night we were sitting around having a nice family moment. Everyone was laughing and enjoying one another. We then read in the scriptures, Jacob to be exact, and upon request explained to Maddie what a concubine was and what whoredoms were. Then, we asked GJ to explain some of the chapter we read. GJ said that they were being warned to keep their standards high. I said, "yes, their morals - Olivia, can you explain what morals are?" Before Olivia could respond Maddie excitedly said, "Oh, I know what it means, we have been learning about morals at school." I think all of us had the same reaction to her statement and carefully listened for what she possibly could have learned!

She continued, "Morals, like fairy tales".

HUH?

"You know, where they teach you a lesson".

We all laughed and laughed. Maddie continually makes us laugh. We were all very pleased that it was "the moral of the story" version she was being taught.
