My kid is such a smart-mouthed nut.

[Maddy McCall]

He's eleven, and he went to church tonight with his grandfather. Well, when he came home, he told me what a great time he had.

The kids have a little group on Wednesday night, and usually they do fun stuff like play basketball and such, but tonight, the youth minister was away, so his wife led the group.

She lectured them on the ills of "taking the lord's name in vain." She said that it's a commandment that should never be broken, and that she doesn't even go to movies anymore because of all the cursing in the movies.

My son, always the one to question, asked her, "What if you're about to have a car wreck and you say, 'Oh my god!' right before impact. Does that mean you're going to hell?"

He said that she responded, "Errr. Ummmm. I try not to take the lord's name in vain."

What a nut he is. The last time he raised eyebrows was when he was selected to be Jesus during the easter church service--the kids put on a play. He had to stand on this cross thing, and the "roman soldiers" gave him bitter wine. In front of the whole church, my son said, "I'm tipsy!" (I'm sure that reflected well on me. :silly: )
