Circle of Life

After the races were done at the Pinewood Derby on Wednesday night, the Cubmaster gathered the kids together on a blanket for a discussion to prepare for an Arrow of Light ceremony for one of the boys. This is the exchange that followed.

Leader: What happens to every cub scout eventually?

Phoebe: (after raising her hand and being called on) They grow up.

Leader: That's right! They grow up.

Sophie: (without raising her hand) And then they become mommies and daddies!

Leader: Well, that's true.

Sophie: And then grandmas and grandpas!

Leader: Yes, after a long time.

Sophie: And then they die.

(cue gasps of laughter from most of the adults in the room)

Sophie: And then they're resurrected!

Leader: Well, you've got that whole circle of life down.

I guess all the lessons about the Plan of Salvation have really taken hold.
