Overheard

Believe it or not, I teach Sunday School at my church. Last year was my first year and I taught the first and second graders, which I enjoyed tremendously. My kids were in different classes down the hall.

This year, I've been asked to switch it up and teach the older kids -- a class of fifth and sixth graders.

Mad Dog and The Deuce are fifth graders. And this all led to this interesting exchange:

Scene opens: Mad Dog and I are sitting side by side, each eating a bowl of cold cereal.

"Hey, guess what? I'm going to be your Sunday School teacher next year. Cool huh?"

"You'll be my teacher?"

"Yep, the Director of Christian Education asked me to last night. Isn't that great?"

"It's freaky, Mom."

"Does 'freaky' mean 'awesome?'"

"Yeah, let's say, 'awesome.'"

And... end scene.
