What are you doing?

I’m thinking about the future.

You don’t know what’s going to happen in the future!

Then how do I know that I’m going to go on a mission, or that you’re going to marry some goofy guy in the temple?

Don’t you listen in Primary? It’s called agency. You get to choose to go on a mission or go to the temple. You have to make good choices to get you there.

Then making good choices is one way to plan for the future, right?

I guess you’re right. I’m planning on eating the last chocolate éclair!

You mean the one I just ate?

Mom!
