God In The Dock...?

Some of my students really have a weird outlook on life.

Handing out some worksheets to one of my new Year 8 classes, I was stopped by one boy who wanted to know why, if I was called "Miss," I wore a wedding ring.

I explained that I had taken vows. "So, you're, like, married to God then?" queried another student.

This caused some consternation: "What? So does that mean you can't get a divorce?"

I hope that the fleeting consideration which flitted across my mind of how one could possibly go about claiming any alimony doesn't constitute a mortal sin...

  1. LOL! That's funny. Reminds me of a book that was out when I was kid, called "Children's Letters to God"

  3. Well, your year 8's do appear to me to have understood the whole idea of vows rather well!
