Book of Mormon Stories

So we have been going through the stories in the Book of Mormon with Ty-kell. Last night he asked me to tell him the "pear story". So as I started telling Lehi's dream this is how our conversation went.

Me "There was a man named Lehi, and he had a dream. And in the dream their was a tree. And on the tree there was..."
Ty-kell "Pears, and they ate them."
Me "Yes, and the Pears were..."
Ty-kell "White and they make you happy."
Me " That's right Ty-kell"
Ty-kell "Then the bad guy ate the fruit and had to leave, cause the girl did it too."
Me " What?"
Ty-kell "The girl Eve was naughty and she ate the fruit, and Adam was a bad guy and ate the fruit"
Me "Well, Adam was not a bad guy he just ate the fruit Heavenly Father and Jesus asked him not to."
Ty-kell " Mommy he ate the pears?"
Me "No, he ate the fruit of the tree of good and evil. The pears are good to eat they represent God's Love."
Ty-kell " Oh, and then there was a bad guy Sam..."
Me "Sam?" "Oh, do you mean Satan?"
Ty-kell " Yes, Satan and he was a bad guy and he cuts off my arms."
Me " Satan is not a good guy, but it was Satan who cut off arms it was Ammon and he cut of the arms of the Lamanites for stealing his sheep."
Ty-kell " Then Adam ate the fruit and Eve ate the fruit, and they were naughty.
Me " Yes, Ty-kell it is time for bed. Go to sleep."
Ty-kell "Mommy, there was a good guy and his name is Jesus, and the bad guy Satan."
Me "Yes, Ty-kell good night.
I hope that I got it straightened out for him... I thought it was funny that he thought Satan was going to cut off his arms.
