The Jerry-Rigged Star!

During our scripture "reading" at night, we have the boys repeat the words from the scriptures.  For some reason, Jonathan tends to repeat only the last word or two of a three to four word phrase.  He does this even more so than Erik.  So, as we were decorating our tree this year, we got a surprising answer out of them. 

 Landon, with a smile on his face, asked the boys, "Do you want the angel on top or (with a less-happy looking face) the jerry-rigged star?"  (The star doesn't have any way of attaching to the tree.  String has to be used to get it to stay.)  Not only did they pick the jerry-rigged star (despite Landon's attempt to imfluence them), they both clearly said in full, "THE JERRY-RIGGED STAR!"  We found it amusing.
