Otto, the prophet!?

Ok...so I thought this conversation I had with Max was just too cute. I had to share. It happen Sunday afternoon as we were getting dinner on the table.

I hear him and Sophie having a little argument. You know the type; "Yes, he is ." "No, he isn't."

I interrupted them to ask what they were fighting about.

Sophia: "Max says that Otto was the first prophet."

Me: "What?"

Sophia: "Max says that Otto was the first prophet!"

Me: "Who?"

Max: "Otto." (I think I asked them this about 5 times just to make sure my hearing was working. Also this gave me time to try and figure out where the confusion began.)

Me: "Max, where did you hear about Otto?"

Max: "In primary." (Hmmm, that's new.)

Me: "Did your teacher tell you about Otto?" (He has a great teacher, just still trying to trace his thinking.)

Max: "No, we sang about him."

He then proceeds to sing, "Otto was a prophet, first one that we know..."

Ah Ha! Got it!

Me: "No, Max. The song is 'Adam was a prophet, first one that we know...' "

Sophie: "Told you"

Another Miller mystery solved...thank you very much! (And apparently our primary needs to annunciate a little better when we're singing.) Poor little Max was a bit sad that he'd been singing about the wrong prophet.

  1. I may always say "Otto" now.... and I'm checking with Miss H. to see what she thinks the song says!
