Your son is fortunate to have you as a parent and I’m so glad you and his teacher had a talk.
How did the talk go?
LIke to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation. . .
Matt, would you please elaborate on that discussion?
I love it! The yucky sin is the reproductive part of the pumpkin! How I miss Sunday School.
Matt, can I use this story for a book I’m writing? It’s about the Religious Right, and there’s a chapter that talks about how there are certain fundamentalist theologies that private Christian schools teach children with/without the knowledge of the parents. Hope you reply soon!
Sure man! Be my guest.
