Weeds...

While I was working outside today, Asher and I had an interesting conversation about weeds that went something like this.  Just one more example of why I should practice these types of conversations BEFORE they actually happen.

Asher:  "Mom, why do we even have weeds?"

Me:  "Since Adam ate the off-limits fruit in the garden, Heavenly Father punished him by putting weeds in the flowers."

Asher:  "That's not true Mom, why would Heavenly Father make weeds."

Me (trying to put a positive spin on the story):  "Well, He did.  But it's good because if Adam and Eve wouldn't have eaten the fruit, we wouldn't be here because they would have had to stay in the garden and they never could have had babies."

Asher:  "Oh!  So weeds make babies."

Me:  {silently thinking to myself, Crap!}
