Cement gets invented (!!)

Just as the sacrament was about to be passed yesterday, Caleb yanked on my arm and, pointing to his scriptures*, said, "Mama! Look! This is when cement was invented!"

I gave him the typical dazed look that his questions invariably inspire and glanced at the chapter heading to Helaman 3 as he read in a stage whisper, "They build houses of cement and keep many records!"**

*I should stress that scripture reading is not typical behavior for the six-year-old during sacrament meeting. Usually I'm trying to get him to sit on his own chair and stop digging through CC's snacks to find any possible marshmallows.

**Just to clarify: that exclamation mark is Caleb's, not the chapter heading's. In case you were thinking you'd missed yet another exclamation mark in holy writ.
