Family Home Business

At our house, we don't have Family Home Evening, we have Family Home Business.  According to Julia, at least.  I guess she picked up on the fact that at the beginning we have announcements, and then we have business.  I suggested this once years ago, modeling the beginning of sacrament meeting where there are announcements before the opening prayer/hymn and then ward business afterward.  Just to clarify, no, I don't know what sort of Family Business one would expect to be coming up on a weekly basis.  Not a lot of sustainings and releases going on in our family.  But out of tradition, we call for family business every week, so Julia has renamed the whole evening.

Tonight, she picked up the FHE/FHB lesson manual (which is the nursery lesson manual) which was opened to the lesson on scriptures and said "Today, we're talking about candles and fire".  You see, up at the top there is a picture of scriptures open on a table which happens to have a candle on it.  So clearly, the lesson is about candles.  Any time she start into a lesson or presentation of any sort it begins with "Today we're talking about ________".  Not sure where she picked this up, but it sure is funny.
