Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater

Plural marriage in the culture, Posts by Charlotte 1 Minute

Peter, Peter pumpkin eater,

Had a wife but couldn’t keep her;

He put her in a pumpkin shell

And there he kept her very well.

Peter, Peter pumpkin eater,

Had another and didn’t love her;

Peter learned to read and spell,

And then he loved her very well.

Charlotte is the owner of the blog "Speaking of Polygamy". She grew up in the mainstream LDS Church, but now the Torah is the foundation of her religion and the rest of the scriptures are a bonus. (It's amazing how much the Book of Mormon and Old Testament support each other.) She's been Joshua's wife since 2002 and Melissa's sisterwife since 2013. Together, they are blessed with many treasured children and live in Kody Brown's old house in Lehi, Utah. They love celebrating the Biblical holy days with like-minded friends (both old and new). Charlotte loves dancing, playing the piano, journaling, studying Biblical Hebrew, and reading to her children.
