No Thanks to Me!

I like to think I'm doing a good job teaching my kids about the gospel, Jesus Christ, and scripture stories. I say things like "Would Heavenly Father be happy with how you hit your brother?" and I find the Stripling Warriors story for Rix in the Book of Mormon because it's his favorite story. I remind them they can pray when they are scared, and sometimes, but not very often because it's really obnoxious, I let them listen to Primary songs in the car.

But apparently I have failed somewhere along the way.

Last night I was reading "Book of Mormon Stories for Young Latter-Day Saints" to Rix. It's basically the scriptures in story form, and it starts out with Bible stories. We were reading about Noah, the tower of Babel, and the brother of Jared. To check his understanding, I asked Rix "Do you know about Noah and the Ark?"

"Yes!" he said, "He's the guy who put all the animals and his family in the boat so they wouldn't drown in the flood!

Okay, he's heard this story, but I didn't know if I had taught him, or if he learned about it at church. "You're right! Did you learn that at Primary?"

Then, all serious and innocent, he said "No, I learned it from Fraggle Rock."

I have failed. Fraggle Rock is now teaching my kids. :)
