Chutes and Ladders and Schwispshurs

Emily has just discovered this game. For the most part, she understands the game, although we don't make her get the exact count to win the game. She has really picked up on right vs wrong and understands the pictures on the game: do a good thing and get a reward, do a bad thing and get a punishment.
This morning we were playing again and she landed on the image of the kid reading the comics behind the book he was supposed to be studying. She went down the slide and said in a disappointed/shamed voice, "Oh no, I not read schwispshurs."
She has begun taking various forms of the scriptures (The Book of Mormon, the children's magazine: The Friend, a children's Reader for the scriptures, etc.), climbs up in the recliner and reads the scriptures aloud. Of course, I wonder at the stories she reads from them. I know you are supposed to apply the scriptures to your life, but I think she's done this in reverse. =)
