The picture is of Joseph Smith, prophet and founder of the Chruch of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. Handsome guy, yes? Supposedly he did make quite an impression on the ladies. H says he looks very intense. I agree. The photo in my book shows this intensity more clearly. One would imagine, of course, that it took some intenstity to found a religion....The peanut gallery: As I'm reading this particular book on Mormon history called originally enough Mormonism, Umberto looks over to see what I'm reading.
Umberto: "Who's that guy?" Pointing to the above mentioned picture.
Me: "Joseph Smith. He was the founder of the Mormons."
Umberto: "He's a funny guy."
Umberto: "He's a funny guy."
Me: "Why do you say this?" Puzzled.
Umberto: "Look at his hair. It's funny."
Me: "You know he had something 33 wives."
Umberto: "Did he have kids with all those wives?" Amazed.
Me: "Well maybe but he did have a lot of kids."
Me: "Well maybe but he did have a lot of kids."
Umberto: "Whoa, did they destroy the house?"
Gotta love the perspective of a 7 year old.

LOL for Umberto!
I guess that in a family of polgymatists, house destruction is of primary concern LOL.
Of course, with 34 people to help clean up....
