The conversation:
So Emma, you need to be nice and have good manners, okay?
Yes Mom. I'll be good.
Okay. Remember, say please and thank you. Don't be rude. Share.
Yes Mom. I know.
Oh, (just to tease her) and remember, no giggling!
No giggling? But MOM (in that oh so dramatic, pre-teen fashion), we CAN'T have FUN if we DON'T giggle!
Good to know.
And for the Beatty kids-ism:
We were telling the children how we have a new prophet, Thomas S. Monson.
They were trying to recall which one he was, and asked, "Oh, is he the one that looks like Uncle Rick?"
Uncle Rick? Really?
I guess I had never seen the resemblence, but when we looked President Monson up on the computer, they assured me that he did indeed look like their Uncle Rick. (And I think it made them feel instantly closer to the new prophet.)
So, you be the judge.

I'm not seeing much of a resemblance other than the hairline :)
I can see where kids would make that connection. I think like Elder Hales looks like Rodney Dangerfield so I might have a hard time taking him seriously if he is ever our Prophet.
I had never thought about the resemblance, but I can see some. It seems like your kids always have good behavior!
