You teach and nurture your children in faith. Fortunate indeed is the woman who is married to a good man, who is loved by him, and who in turn loves him; a man who loves his children, provides for them, teaches them, guides them, rears and protects them as they walk the stormy course from babyhood to adulthood. President Gordon B. Hinckley

Picture This
I have a story I would like you to picture. A day with 8 children. During the day there is playing, fighting, teasing, screaming, crying, laughing and sometimes complete disobedience. The children are out swimming in the warm summer sun (you know it is not in El Centro because I did not say 'hot summer sun') when one of the many is getting a lecture from their mother. In the middle of said lecture the child turns around and just jumps in to the pool. The mother, having lost all patience jumps in to the pool, fully dressed to haul the child right back out. As she is jumping in she hears gasps from all around, one of which came from her mother, the child's grandma. The mother throws the child to the ladder, (really, it was not a throw because water is up to the child's chest, so it was more of a push) and unceremoniously hauls the child out of the pool and reads them the riot act as well as the other 3 that belong to her about minding, not screaming and fighting. One of the nieces says "Aunt so and so, did you know that you jumped in to the pool?". Haha. Welcome to a moment in my life.

This is so funny. I heard about this yesterday. I think everyone was still shocked you went in fully clothed.
Mom said she was sure I had lost my mind at that moment. Haha
Dang someone should have captured that in video. Good for you not taking any crap!
I would like to have a video of everyone's face as I did it, those in the pool and those out.!
