Those upstate NY sisters popped off with their toes; Joseph Smith learned at an early age to pop off with his mouth!
Joey's mom especially took note...and note this comes from a Mormon publishing source...Bookcraft:
During our evening conversations, Joseph would occasionally give us some of the most amusing recitals that could be imagined. He would describe the ancient inhabitants of the continent, their dress, mode of traveling, and the animals upon which they rode; their cities, their buildings, with every particular; their mode of warfare; and also their religious worship. This he would do with as much ease, seemingly, as if he had spent his whole life among them. On the twenty-second of September, 1824, Joseph again visited the place where he found the plates the year previous; and supporting at this time that the only thing required, in order to possess them until the time for their translation, was to be able to keep the commandments of God...he fully expected to carry them home with him. (Lucy Mack Smith, edited by Preston Nibley, History of Joseph Smith, p. 83, Bookcraft, Salt Lake City, 1958)
Based on how she wove together the above, I'm thinking she is describing 17 yo Joseph Smith during the Summer of 1824. [Note how she immediately jumps to the Fall of 1824, when Smith was still< 17]. Yes, that's after the alleged first vision...but it's also before he had a chance to "interpret" or "translate" those plates.
Joey was a yarn-teller, a verbal rap machine at an early age. And his mommy just loved the way her imaginative boy could tell a tall tale.
