Yikes on One Eternal Family Perspective

  

  So, I'm the Primary teacher to a class of 11-year-olds, this one particular year... eleven 11-year-olds. It was okay. We had a great year after my therapist put it all into proper perspective for me.      
     However, one time, we were all sitting in opening exercises and this one kid, I'll say he was 5-years-old, stood at the pulpit to give his talk. His dutiful father stood next to him, holding a set of pictures. This is how it went:
     Dad whispers in kid's ear.
     Then, kid stretches up to reach the microphone and says/yells: "My talk today is on eternal families."
     Dad hands kid a picture, kid runs over to the portable cork board and thumbtacks a picture of kid's family--mom, dad, kid and his baby brother. Kid runs back to microphone.
     Dad whispers in kid's ear.
     Kid says: "My parents were married in the temple."
     Dad gives kid picture, kid runs over and puts up a picture of Salt Lake Temple.
     Running back to the microphone, Dad whispers in kid's ear.
     Kid says: "My parents gave birth to me."
     Kid runs over, really excited, and puts up picture of himself.

     What a great talk; cute dad, cute cute kid! Possibly, if someone had a camera, this could go viral.

     Kid goes back to microphone. Dad whispers in kid's ear, then kid says, "My parents had my baby brother."
     Dad hands kid photo, kid runs over, puts up picture of a cute newborn baby, swaddled in a blanket, up on board. Kid races back to microphone excited to get more words and pictures. Dad whispers in kid's ear.
     Kid: "We need to obey the commandments" he looks at his dad, his dad whispers in his ear, kid laughs and says, "and love everyone."
     Dad gives kid picture. Kid posts picture of ten commandments on stone tablets.
     Kid stands at microphone, waiting for next prompt.
     Dad whispers in kid's ear.
     Kid stretches. "If my baby brother doesn't obey the commandments..." Dad prompts kid with more words. "My baby brother can't be with us forever."
     Kid runs over to board, takes down picture of baby brother and runs back to microphone.
     Dad whispers in kid's ear, kid closes talk and everyone says, "Amen."
     Smiling proudly, Dad hugs kid, kid hugs dad, and they both sit down.

     Whoa! Wait one eternal minute. If cute baby doesn't obey he's out? That's it! Eternal families are really just one big sport, like basketball and baseball? Three strikes and, "You're outa there!" And, what about big brother? What if he doesn't obey? The sleeping baby doesn't even realize the doom that's coming his way!
     I looked around the room to see if anyone else thought this was a bit LDS odd. Time marched forward, we were dismissed to our classes and, there you go, we all are entitle to our own way of teaching that families can be together...if you obey.
