I was approached by a mom at school this morning about that (yes, my kids attend a *gasp* Christian school) and was all happy and delighted that today is the day.
Two questions I posed for our dear deluded mom - 1. Are we certain that God has the roman calendar hanging on his wall (with pictures of kitty cats in hats) instead of following the julian calendar or perhaps the Islamic calendar or maybe the french revolutionary calendar, and 2. What if it already happened and you aren't as pious as you thought?
She already doesn't like me, so adding some more fuel to the gossip fire was my gift to her.
Odds are high I won't see either of my fathers there (long story), but my mom's a good lock.
Kids are tricky with doctrines, because it's hard to be without sin when you are also without culpability. But the modern entrance exam of bread , wine, and a nice dunking says that the Kingdom of Heaven will be nice and crowded.
Me, I'm wondering if they get cable. Because really, all the good stuff done by a lot of the fun people in my life just won't be around. Also, I'm paid up through next year on some of my accounts, and I'd hate to leave perfectly good credit behind.
I know. That's what I thought. But then, we're dealing with those strange "holy roller" types. Maybe she thought having her kids at Christian school would aid in their ascension?
I was going to say "maybe we Christians are wrong and the Muslims had it right the whole time. Or maybe the Jews." but that would have lead to finding myself being strung up on the nearest tree.

Assuming I make the cut, that is.

That math lesson won't really be that important will it?
