Funny Story

On Wednesday at the Membership Record department an elderly service missionary was giving a thought and the prayer to start our day. This fellow, come to find out, is a distant cousin of mine and can tell a good story just like the rest of our family. He said that before he was to give the spiritual thought he would like to tell a story that happened years and years ago. This is how it went: "My wife and I had four boys. The youngest, Brian, was a red head and had a disposition to match. He was always in trouble. One day I came home from work and heard my wife in the kitchen getting after Brian, she said, 'Brian, you have GOT to obey!! You need to BE GOOD!! Now Brian, I mean it, you have GOT TO BE GOOD!' Their son quickly said, 'Mommy I will be good if you give me a nickel.' To which his mother said, 'You need to be GOOD for nothing, just like your father!" I about fell off my chair in laughter, and so did everybody else.
